LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 522: Chapter 486 Intent Listener Chapter 522: Chapter 486 Intent Listener “Uncle Wolin, how come you’re here?”

When they found Baron Wolin in the room, already having prepared food and drinks, the group of young nobles were taken aback and also felt it was rather strange.

“Gentlemen, how has it been? Are the negotiations going smoothly?”

“Don’t even mention it.”

Whenever the topic of negotiation came up, the young nobles all showed faces full of dissatisfaction, and they unceremoniously took their seats at the dining table and started chatting with Baron Wolin, after all, the Baron was a loyal old-timer under Lexington and nobody was an outsider here.

Baron Wolin’s reason for seeing them this time was really nothing else but to cheer these young people up.

This might sound somewhat unbelievable, yet it was indeed the case. The depth of Baron Wolin’s hatred for Rocky was well known and did not need detailed explanation. His thoughts were actually very simple, which was to leave Rocky empty-handed, to ensure Rocky would not get his hands on Sky City.

But due to his status and position, it was certain that he was not qualified to directly communicate with the Elder leading the delegation, so he had no choice but to chat with the group of young men instead.

Some might find Baron Wolin’s approach strange. Doesn’t he know the current predicament of the families?

Baron Wolin, after all, was just a Baron.

He was merely a subordinate of Lexington, and his vision and insights were far from reaching the level needed to oversee the big picture.

Moreover, Baron Wolin did not really expect to achieve much by meeting these young men. Although he indeed wanted them to give Rocky a hard time, it was more about venting his own spite and dissatisfaction with Rocky.

Under such circumstances, the group naturally started chatting immediately, and, of course, the topics of conversation revolved around Rocky.

Perhaps it was because of his age, or perhaps his immense animosity towards Rocky, but after two glasses of wine, Baron Wolin’s face began to redden, showing signs of drunkenness.

“Young sirs, let me tell you…”

After taking a big gulp of wine, Baron Wolin said tipsily, “If I were twenty years younger, no, even ten years younger, I would never have allowed Rocky such insolence! From the moment he stepped foot in Sky City, I would have challenged him! I would’ve enjoyed knocking him down and then would have made him roll out of here, out of the families!”

“That little bastard… If only I were a bit younger…”

As he spoke, Baron Wolin gesticulated, stretching his boldness fueled by alcohol, clearly having drunk to excess.

Though he was drunk and began to spout drunken gibberish, the speaker was unintentional, but the listeners took heed. As a result, when he finished speaking, the few young men opposite him exchanged glances as if they had thought of something.

Afterward, they continued to make casual conversation, verbally attacking Rocky and Aileen.

A night quickly passed, and the next day, the Mairente Family members, as usual, headed straight for the City Lord’s Mansion, still having to face the troublesome Aileen.

“Elder, Bernardo and the others haven’t arrived…”

When everybody was preparing to head to the City Lord’s Mansion, someone mentioned to the Elder that a few of the young men in the family hadn’t followed.

“What are they doing?”

Upon hearing this, the Elder slightly furrowed his brows.

“Not sure, but I heard they drank until very late last night. They might not be up yet. I’ll go call them.”

“Forget it.”

Hearing this, the Elder shook his head and then sighed, saying, “These young people, they haven’t experienced such situations, let’s just not bother them with it.”

This negotiation was as frustrating and annoying as it could be, and no one knew this better than the elder presiding over the affair. He, a distinguished Elder of the Mairente Family, found himself constantly on the back foot, pressed relentlessly by the young girl Aileen. This sense of weakness wasn’t just unbearable for the young; even the battle-hardened Elder was reaching his limit. Given that a few of the younger members had too much to drink and had not shown up, it was just as well; they would have been met with the same displeasure.

So, with a sigh, the Elder didn’t bother to send for them and was ready to lead the others onto the carriage.

However, at that moment, someone on the nearby street started shouting at the top of their lungs!

“Bernardo, the young master, is going to challenge Rocky! Bernardo, the young master, is going to challenge Rocky!”

“Hm?”

The sudden clamor immediately caught everyone’s attention, especially the family Elder who was about to board the carriage; his face changed color as soon as he heard the noise!

“Go find out what’s happening!”

“Yes, sir!”

With a response, someone immediately ran across the street, and in no time, they returned with a pale face, saying to the Elder, “Elder, Bernardo and the others are preparing to issue a challenge to Rocky… They want to have a duel with Rocky…”

“What!”

As soon as his subordinate finished speaking, the Elder’s complexion turned ashen, and he grabbed the subordinate by the front: “Where are they!”

“They’re said to be almost at the City Lord’s Mansion…”

“Quick! Chase them down! Stop them!”

Hearing this, the Elder pushed his subordinate aside and sprang into the carriage with agility that belied his age. The family’s carriage then hurried toward the City Lord’s Mansion at breakneck speed.

But their haste was too late.

While they were frantically rushing over, Bernardo and his companions had not only arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion but had also already met with Rocky!

Bernardo, twenty-three years old, was around the same age as Rocky. His father was one of the family Elders, so he held a considerably high status among his generation, especially after Cyril left the family. Beside Abraham, he was the most notable among the young.

And at that moment, Bernardo, accompanied by several peers, had already met Rocky.

“You… want to have a duel with me?”

Seated on the throne of the City Lord, Rocky looked at the people before him with a hint of amusement, unable to believe his own ears.

Early that day, as usual, he was chatting with Bodin and others, picking up some tips on how to manage a large city when he was informed that some young people from the families had asked to see him by name. He emerged only to find that these few people actually wanted to have a duel with him?

“That’s right!”

Standing before Rocky, Bernardo and the others held their heads high and replied with resonance, conveying a certain sense of Bone Essence in their posture.

However, their loud response didn’t clear up Rocky’s confusion. Why on earth had these youngsters suddenly decided to challenge him to a duel?

“Rocky, if you lose, you must leave the family immediately!”

“Exactly! Accept our challenge like a true City Lord, and if you lose, get out of the family. Do you dare?”

Seeing Rocky smiling silently, Bernardo, especially those behind him, raised their voices immediately, each displaying a profound sense of indignation.
