LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 542: Chapter 505_2 Chapter 542: Chapter 505_2 No wonder, since Aniye and others announced the existence of the new technology, Rocky had already entered the public’s eye. Many people were observing him, either openly or covertly, and as a result, his subsequent actions did not lessen the public’s attention but rather attracted even more.

In light of this situation, his acquisition of a medium-sized Sky City was a major event that many people wanted to know about, and naturally, the Shadow Alliance would not overlook it.

At the same time, other matters related to Rocky were also leaked.

For instance, the disputes and grudges between Rocky and the Mairente Family.

And then, the ultimate rivalry between the two top Armor sets, the Angel and the Demon.

Furthermore, Athena, known as a remarkable woman, settling in Thunderhawk City.

All these news had spread soon after Rocky left the Mairente Family, and it must be admitted that, aside from his feud with the Mairente Family, other matters such as the battle between the Angel and the Demon, and the settling of Athena, were major news that captivated public interest. Indeed, because of this, these events had caused quite a stir once they were disclosed.

Firstly, what caused a sensation was the duel between Rocky and Bernardo.

This incident itself was not noteworthy; what truly captured the world’s attention were the two Armors involved in the duel.

Holy Angel and White Demon!

Just having these two names mentioned together was enough to excite people and spark gossip.

Since its public introduction, the Holy Angel Armor, as endorsed by Sigma Corporation and the outsiders, had been dubbed the strongest Armor in the world, and rightly so. According to the comprehensive benchmarks and data released by Sigma Corporation, the Holy Angel Armor indeed deserved to be hailed as the strongest Armor currently.

In contrast, although the White Demon Armor was not yet officially unveiled, Aniye and others had merely mentioned it in passing at the end of the press conference. However, this did not affect the public’s attention to the White Demon, especially since Rocky’s performance in the previous battle had brought this concern to the extreme.

Consequently, the true ultimate strength amongst the Angel and the Demon naturally became a hotly debated topic among people in their leisure time. Unfortunately, although these two Armors had appeared in the same seasonal Arena, they missed the chance to confront each other, so no one could tell which Armor was stronger.

But now, the duel between Rocky and Bernardo had thoroughly resolved this question; fact had proven that the White Demon was indeed the superior one!

Once this news was spread, it caused trouble!

Though discerning people could see that, since Rocky’s opponent was Bernardo, a single duel could not prove that the Holy Angel Armor was inferior to the White Demon Armor, the world mostly consisted of people who only cared about results. Therefore, this event immediately impacted people’s appraisal of the Holy Angel Armor, severely affecting Sigma Corporation.

This really worried Sigma Corporation; they had just begun enjoying some good days with the launch of the Holy Angel Armor when unexpectedly, they encountered this incident. Under pressure, Sigma Corporation immediately held a press conference for clarification.

At the press conference, representing the company was none other than the creator of the Holy Angel Armor and the future Sect Leader of Sigma Corporation, Denise.

Denise first praised White Demon and Rocky highly, particularly Rocky, she even bluntly stated that had Rocky continued to participate in the Arena battles, she might not have been his match even without the White Demon Armor. The implication was clear: the loss of the Holy Angel Armor to the White Demon was not because the Armor was lacking but because its user was.

Of course, Denise knew that mere words would not satisfy everyone. Thus, she not only reiterated that the benchmarks and metrics for the Holy Angel Armor were absolutely accurate without any exaggeration, but she also presented a Magic Energy Image at the end.

In this Magic Energy Image, Denise herself, wearing the Holy Angel Armor, had defeated a Lava Demon!

The Lava Demon, one of the high-level demons, is also listed as one of the most dangerous high-level demons today, second only to the Magic Dragon!

As soon as this Magic Energy Image was released, the press conference was immediately buzzing with shock because everyone knew how terrifying the Lava Demon was. This type of demon was essentially an indestructible monster, its entire body composed of scorching lava, with an outer layer of molten magma flowing at thousands of degrees in temperature. A mere flick of its hand could scatter a swath of scorching magma, and any Armor that merely touched it would be punctured with holes.

Yet, this terrifying demon was brutally beaten in the Magic Energy Image by Denise, who was dressed in Holy Angel Armor. This alone proved the robustness of the Holy Angel Armor.

Not until the conference had ended did the Sigma Corporation finally manage to turn the tide of public opinion, but even so, the reputation of the White Demon had already reached a level equivalent to that of the Holy Angel.

On the other hand, Athena’s move to Thunderhawk City also caused quite a stir, though this sensation was limited to the various City Lords and Alliance Hierarchs, as ordinary people had no idea who Athena was.

And among them, the most shocked were undoubtedly Alas, the City Lord of Glory City, and Aniye, Athena’s close friend.

Unlike others who learned of this incident through rumors, Alas and Aniye had known immediately after Rocky left the Mairente Family, with Aniye knowing even earlier. She had found out on the very night that Mar was killed because the letter written by Athena was handed to her that night.

Upon receiving Athena’s letter, Aniye initially did not know what Athena intended to do, but upon opening the envelope and reading the content, she finally understood.

“Dear Aniye,”

“It’s as if seeing your face as I read your words.”

“I have decided to leave Glory City. Please do not blame my lack of prior notice; I do not wish for Alas to learn of this matter.”

“I have long been aware of your affair with Alas, but it does not affect our friendship. I am always grateful for your companionship over the years, but there are some things I must say—please don’t be upset.”

“Alas is cruel and petty, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Do not stay by his side for too long. While I was there, he didn’t dare to treat you badly; once I leave, remember not to seek him out.”

“After my departure, please cut all ties with Alas. Should I remain alive, he will not dare to vent his anger on you. When the time is right, I will send someone to take you out of the city. You just stay safe in Glory City.”

“It is a reluctance to resort to this measure; forgive me.”

“Remember, do not contact Alas in any way, and do not show him this letter.”

“Remember!”

Athena’s letter to Aniye was brief, essentially conveying two messages: one telling Aniye she was going to leave, and the other instructing Aniye on how to protect herself after her departure.

For Athena, Aniye and Alas’s affair could hardly escape her notice, which was why she did not take Aniye with her, knowing that telling Aniye would equate to informing Alas. Nevertheless, she still offered Aniye a way to protect herself and promised to come back to take her away later.

However, after reading the letter, Aniye was dumbfounded. Unlike Athena, who was extremely intelligent or cunning, even though she was always by Athena’s side, she had absolutely no inkling of Athena’s departure, nor was she prepared for it. Of course, this was not Aniye’s fault because even Alas had no idea that Athena would leave so suddenly.

Perhaps it was truly a lack of cunning, or perhaps she was truly captivated by Alas, but after finishing Athena’s letter and coming to her senses, Aniye immediately ran out of her house and headed straight for the City Lord’s Mansion, completely forgetting Athena’s admonitions in the letter.

Clearly, in Aniye’s heart, she trusted Alas more than Athena.
