LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 527: Chapter 491: A Reason Chapter 527: Chapter 491: A Reason Athena’s appearance was completely beyond Rocky’s expectations, and what she said was even more incredulous to him, so much so that halfway through their conversation, Rocky excused himself and hurried off to see Bodin and the others.

According to Athena, since she had involved herself in so many matters, it was impossible for her to be a minor character, so even if Rocky had never heard of her, Bodin and his friends definitely would have. If they didn’t know her, then it was almost certain that Athena was insane.

However, when he met Bodin and the two others, and mentioned Athena’s name, the three City Lords who were originally enjoying themselves in the back garden, leaped to their feet as if they had been sprung from their seats!

“You’re saying Athena is here?”

Bodin stared at Rocky with eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

“Rocky, are you mistaken? As far as I know, this woman has always been in Glory City. How did she get here?”

Of course, Bodin and the others had heard of Athena. As the City Lords of large Sky Cities, they may have never sought Athena’s help, but they also knew her quite well. After all, as the old saying goes, “The older the rivers and lakes, the smaller the courage,” and the more prominent the City Lord, the better they understood the world, knowing who to provoke and who to stay clear of. And in the eyes of Bodin and the others, Athena was certainly someone to avoid.

“That… I don’t know.”

Unfortunately, facing their confusion, Rocky could not provide a clear answer, as he did not know Athena himself, having never spoken to her before, so he simply recounted what had happened earlier.

And after he finished explaining, especially after he described Athena, Bodin and the others were unanimously certain that the person Rocky met was indeed Athena herself.

“Brothers, what’s the deal with this Athena? Why do all of you get so tense at the mere mention of her?”

Having explained the situation, Rocky looked at the three men and asked, because he could clearly feel that they were extremely tense, which was very abnormal for the three of them.

“Tense? It’s more than that, we’re even considering leaving.”

No sooner had he asked the question, Bodin and the others gave a wry smile, and then they recounted Athena’s story to Rocky.

In just a few words, the three of them told Rocky all sorts of rumors about Athena, as well as her capabilities, which naturally left Rocky gaping in astonishment, completely stunned.

“This woman… she’s so formidable?”

“Of course, otherwise would we be this afraid of her…”

Sighing with a blend of helplessness and self-mockery, Maros spoke. As a City Lord of a large Sky City and a core member of the Alliance, Maros was not one to easily fear anyone, but Athena was definitely on the list of those he feared, and she ranked near the top.

In fact, it wasn’t just Maros; Bodin and Pank felt the same way. They all kept a respectful but distant attitude toward Athena, and if possible, determined never to come into contact with her. If they did, they made sure not to provoke her. Her schemes were too terrifying; they were out of their league.

“Then, what does she want with me?”

Having heard their account, Rocky also felt a surge of nervousness. The sudden interest of such a formidable woman was far from pleasant news.

“Brother Rocky, there’s nothing we can do to help you with this one.”

After giving him a look, Bodin and the others shook their heads in unison. No one in this world could understand what Athena was thinking, nor did anyone want to speculate on that question. So, in this matter, no one could assist Rocky.

“Rocky, remember to be careful when you’re dealing with this woman; that’s the only advice we can give you.”

“This… Alright…”

Rocky glanced at Pank, opened his mouth as if to speak, then reluctantly nodded his head, and quickly turned to leave, as Athena was still waiting for him.

“Rocky! Don’t mention us at all!”

“Yes, talk what you need with her but leave us out! We don’t want to get involved with her!”

As Rocky turned to leave, just about to step out of the back garden, the three City Lords of the large Sky Cities couldn’t help but shout after him, imploring Rocky not to mention them in front of Athena.

Unfortunately, at this time, Rocky was no longer in the mood to listen to these things, as he was on his way back to the reception hall with his mind full of Athena’s image.

Why would such a legendary woman come to see him?

According to what Bodin and the others had said, this woman’s cunning and foresight were beyond what ordinary people could match. Every action she took was imbued with a profound meaning only she understood. So what was the profound reason for her to come to see him?

He didn’t understand.

He couldn’t understand at all.

This question was too difficult for Rocky, who had never heard of Athena before.

Lost in thought, he found himself back at the door of the reception hall. Taking a deep breath, Rocky finally pushed the door open and entered.

No sooner had he pushed open the door than he heard the laughter of two women. As Rocky opened the door and saw inside, he found Liliya and Athena in the middle of a cheerful chat…

Seeing Liliya and Athena chatting so amicably, Rocky was once again stunned. Liliya was not the type of person easy to approach, and as far as Rocky knew, aside from himself and a few others, there were hardly any who could strike up a conversation with Liliya.

“City Lord Rocky,”

While Rocky stood dumbfounded, the two women had already stopped chatting. Liliya returned to her original seat, and Athena nodded to him politely.

After that, Rocky returned to his seat and looked over at Athena.

To be honest, after learning of Athena’s true identity, Rocky didn’t know how to face her. Moreover, being completely unclear about her reason for visiting, he looked at Athena for quite some time without knowing what to say.

So, in the end, it was Athena who broke the silence first.

“How are Lord Bodin and the others faring?”

Her simple inquiry sent a shock through Rocky’s heart because it was clear she knew what he had just been up to.

“They’re fine… They’re fine… They even asked me to send you their regards…”

Feeling sweat begin to form on his forehead, Rocky nodded awkwardly, only to see Athena across from him smile.

“Really? I thought they were avoiding me and didn’t want to see me.”

“But it doesn’t matter.”

With a slight smile, Athena looked back at Rocky and then said, “City Lord Rocky, I’ve come to see you because I want to talk about the arrangements for the duel.”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Rocky’s brow furrowed slightly, but since Athena had initiated the conversation, he took up the topic and asked:

“Miss Athena, you just mentioned that you arranged this duel, is that correct?”

“Right.”

“Why?”

Looking into Athena’s eyes, Rocky voiced his question. The matter of the duel might not concern him much, but it was still a hassle. Did Athena arrange this to cause trouble for him?

Unexpectedly, just as he finished his question, Athena chuckled and her eyes sparkled with a hint of playfulness.

“City Lord Rocky, I had to have a reason to see you, right? Otherwise, it would be quite awkward.”
