Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 659 - 621 A Cornered Dog Jumps Over the Wall

Chapter 659: Chapter 621: A Cornered Dog Jumps Over the Wall Chapter 659: Chapter 621: A Cornered Dog Jumps Over the Wall Rick and others’ plans against Rocky had been very thoroughly prepared. It could almost be said there were no loopholes targeted at him. Rick’s deployment was merely the tip of the iceberg; what was more terrifying was yet to come.

However, according to Rick’s original plan, the action was going to be much slower than now because they wanted to gradually drive Rocky to despair, gradually make him feel powerless to resist. Only through this could they force him, whether he willing or not, to hand over the Rune Technology he controlled.

But now, this plan had been disrupted because Rocky had made the first move!

He had used the Rune Technology he mastered to secure two stunning victories so swiftly that everyone realized one thing—they needed to act fast. Otherwise, leaving any chance for Rocky’s further development would be like digging their own graves!

Thus, when Rick left the chamber, everyone immediately sprung into action. Magic Energy Research Institute and Kafka Empire started contacting the Alliance and no longer made empty gestures. They directly confronted the Alliance. Meanwhile, Sigma and Uranus corporations swiftly held a press conference to announce their own production of Tank-type Armor, aiming to hit Rocky’s only source of income.

More importantly, the Shadow Alliance also took action. They blocked the news of Rocky’s victory over City of Fury and began spreading rumors that Rocky was completely besieged, attempting to cut off all his opportunities for external contact, especially trade.

In this multi-front coordinated action, Rocky’s situation became increasingly difficult because the outside world was completely unaware that he had won against City of Fury. Under the manipulation of the Shadow Alliance, everyone thought Rocky was out of resources, which itself did not impact Rocky much. However, the chain reaction this idea triggered was significant, such as Armor sales.

When Apple Tree Corporation had finally managed to ship and deliver all the Tank-type Armor produced from the first batch of orders, they quickly received a second batch. Although there were various issues during the first batch’s process, it had not impacted the bigger picture. Perhaps the Co-Governing Alliance might not reorder, but there were other new clients. After all, as long as Rocky could deliver on time, no one cared about his circumstances.

But as the Shadow Alliance began spreading false news and Sigma and Uranus corporations successively announced their Tank-type Armor, what was a fairly good situation quickly turned bad.

First, influenced by the fake news, clients began to worry whether Rocky could deliver on time because, from the false news spread by the Shadow Alliance, it seemed that Rocky’s days were numbered.

Second, as Sigma and Uranus had revealed their Tank-type Armor, there was no longer any need to order from Rocky exclusively. Both offered the same type of Armor; the brand reputation of Sigma and Uranus was clearly more convincing. Most importantly, these two companies offered lower prices—Rocky and Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce sold their Tank-type 2 Armor at forty thousand gold coins each, while the other two companies charged only thirty thousand, making the choice quite clear for customers.

All these factors struck a harsh blow to Rocky and Apple Tree Corporation, and since everything happened so quickly—almost instantaneously—Apple Tree Corporation was caught off guard and found themselves without any way to respond, leaving them with no choice but to promptly inform Rocky of the situation.

“So to say… even the Shadow Alliance has gotten involved? And Sigma and Uranus as well?”

When Rocky learned of these external developments and after analyzing them with Athena and others, he immediately understood the situation.

Then, Rocky just helplessly chuckled, “These people really think highly of me—Heavenly Ancestor City, Magic Energy Research Institute, Sigma, Uranus, and even the Shadow Alliance. Should I feel flattered?”

While speaking, Rocky looked towards Liliya, then at Athena.

“Sir, this is a good thing.”

When Rocky’s gaze fell on Athena, Athena smiled, “They obviously can’t wait any longer, and their impatience implies they’re afraid to act rashly against us.”

“Why?”

“They’re afraid you might act in desperation.”

“……”

Hearing Athena’s words, Rocky’s forehead creased, and his expression became somewhat awkward, although he understood what Athena meant.

The stronger the technological power he demonstrated, the greater the pressure he would face. Not just from the people mentioned above, but from others as well, including the Sky Alliance, who did not want him to become too powerful to control.

However, similarly, showing this kind of power also made those targeting him more cautious about acting against him. Due to their greed, they wanted everything Rocky had to offer about Runes. The greater the power Rocky displayed, the more they wanted it, but they dared not push too hard for fear that Rocky might take desperate actions and destroy everything.

So for Rocky, the current situation was both good and bad. The good was that he was temporarily safe from life-threatening danger; those targeting him wouldn’t easily eliminate him, even though they had the capability. Although he might not die, he certainly wouldn’t live comfortably because those people would not make it easy for him.

“Let’s wait and talk about these issues later….”

Sighing, Rocky decided not to dwell on this matter further as he had even more urgent matters to deal with. He then looked at Liliya, “How long until Howling Sky arrives?”

“Soon, he had already boarded the ship when I last contacted him.”

“Good.”

As Rocky said, his situation was indeed bad, but these matters had to be set aside for later. He still had unfinished business, namely with City of Fury!

The battle with City of Fury was just a phase; it was far from over!

Therefore, after the previous battle ended, Rocky, who returned to Thunderhawk City, immediately contacted Howling Sky. He was currently awaiting Howling Sky’s arrival.

This wait did not last long; after about half an hour, Howling Sky arrived in Thunderhawk City and met with Rocky.

“Rocky, you really opened our eyes….”

Upon seeing Rocky, Howling Sky looked at him for a good while before he spoke the truth. Indeed, the last two battles had truly opened his eyes.

“Big brother Howling Sky, I hope you can sell me a hundred warships.”

However, facing Howling Sky, Rocky was straight to the point, revealing the purpose of their meeting!
