Lord of the Sky City

As a prominent family in the skies, the Mairente Family naturally received an invitation from Sigma Corporation, not only sending someone to watch the first performance of the Holy Angel Armor but also to participate in the subsequent ball, which included Rocky's cousin, Cyril.

As the woman who was the clan leader of her family, Cyril's status need not be detailed; she often represented the family at various events, and this time was no exception. The family had sent her to attend the ball hosted by Sigma Corporation.

At the ball, Cyril also saw Rocky, and even observed his conflict with Xia Nai, but she didn't intervene, simply because other family members were present.

The matter between Rocky and Baron Wolin was well-known within the Mairente Family. Although Clan Leader Atted and Cyril had helped him covertly, or it could be said, for mutual benefits, Rocky was definitely not welcomed by the family publicly. With other family members around, Cyril had no way to interact with Rocky; her position didn't allow it.

However, after the ball concluded, she left a letter for Rocky.

Upon receiving this letter, Rocky was somewhat moved. He had no fondness for the Mairente Family, but he did not dislike his cousin, Cyril, who had helped him more than once. This assistance made it difficult for Rocky to harbor significant resentment toward her.

When Rocky returned to his room and opened the envelope to see the contents inside, his brow furrowed into a bundle.

"Hmm..."

inside the room, after reading the letter, his brow locked in concern, he didn't go to bed to sleep but instead sat alone on a chair, seemingly deep in thought, a position he held the entire night.

The next day, he immediately returned to Thunderhawk City, then called Aileen, Monte, and Orton among others to the City Lord's Mansion.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Once everyone had gathered, especially after seeing Rocky, they were all somewhat puzzled since Rocky, who had not slept all night, looked considerably worn. Yet, seeing the people he had summoned, all of whom were his confidants, everyone knew something significant was up for discussion.

Indeed, it was the case.

"Everyone, yesterday I received a letter."

Looking at his group of close associates, Rocky spoke while taking out the letter Cyril had given him and then handed it to Orton.

Taking the envelope, Orton and three others grouped together to read it, and then afterwards, it was passed to Aileen and Monte. After they had finished reading, it was finally handed over to Liliya, who put it away.

After everyone had looked at the letter, not very positive expressions emerged on their faces.

At this point, Rocky spoke again, "This letter was given to me by Cyril; you all know about my issues with the Mairente Family, so I believe the contents of this letter to be credible."

"Sir, are you saying Lexington is sabotaging our efforts to join the Sky Alliance?"

"Yes."

Glancing at Monte, Rocky nodded.

The content of the letter Cyril gave to Rocky was actually quite straightforward. She only mentioned two things: one was to inform Rocky that his failure to hear back about joining the Sky Alliance was because Lexington had been interfering.

According to Cyril, Holy Knight Wilton had spoken to the Alliance about Rocky's membership, and the Alliance had agreed. However, Wilton was immediately dispatched on military campaigns which left him no time to inquire personally about this matter.

Thus, Lexington saw his opportunity. He reached out to his contacts within the Sky Alliance and successfully stifled the process. With Lexington's connections and influence, accomplishing this was all too easy since many within the Alliance knew him, but none knew Rocky.

This was precisely why Rocky had been unable to join the Sky Alliance, and he might not manage it before Wilton's return. It was even conceivable that Wilton might forget about him entirely.

Cyril's revelations solved a big mystery for Rocky as he had been pondering why there was no news from the Sky Alliance. Until now, he could only suspect that Wilton hadn't had the time, but after reading the letter, Rocky finally understood the truth behind the scenes—it was Lexington's sabotage.

As to the second matter Cyril mentioned in the letter, she had a suggestion for Rocky!

As Cyril stated in the letter, there was no way for Rocky to join the Sky Alliance before Wilton's return; he was simply too outmatched by Lexington. However, for him, securing membership in the Alliance was the only way out. Otherwise, he would continuously find himself seeking refuge in Eternal City, facing Wild Horse City and Lexington—a non-viable option.

Thus, Cyril proposed a method to assist him.

The method was simple: it was to attract the attention of the Sky Alliance!

Wilton had already spoken to the Alliance about Rocky, and the Alliance had agreed to his joining, it was just that due to interference from below it had not been executed. One shouldn't underestimate these individuals; as a top force, the Sky Alliance didn't have the time to worry about a minor issue like Rocky's membership. Therefore, unless someone explicitly blocked it from happening, Rocky would be unable to join the Alliance.
