Chapter 225: Chapter 229: Applying Pressure
“Teacher, Master Aniye, maybe… we should just let it go…”
From the hospital bed, Rocky looked at Orton and Aniye, speaking with some difficulty.
He was already aware of what Orton and Aniye were doing, as well as the stance of Eternal City’s Councilor Huson, which also put him in a tough spot.
To be honest, Rocky felt angry about Eternal City’s intention to sweep the matter under the rug, especially since he and Liliya had nearly been killed. If he wasn’t upset about that, his temperament would truly be too good.
But as the City Lord, Rocky also knew that sometimes, an arm could never twist a thigh, and faced with a sky monster like Eternal City, what could he, a mere City Lord of Thunderhawk City, do?
To put it bluntly, he didn’t even have the right to raise his voice in front of Eternal City!
...
This time, if Orton hadn’t been there, and later on brought the even more renowned Master Aniye, the matter would’ve probably been concluded long ago, and Rocky might have even been kicked out of the hospital he now lay in.
In such a situation, Rocky didn’t want to make things too stiff. Although he now had Orton and Master Aniye supporting him, Eternal City was merely showing him courtesy due to their fame and academic status. If he really pushed them too far, it was uncertain how they might react.
“How can that be acceptable!? We can’t let this end like this!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Orton disagreed, staring at Rocky with widened eyes, very dissatisfied with his attitude on the matter, “You brat! We two old men have been helping you so much, and you’re thinking of backing out now?”
Puffing up his cheeks and glaring at Rocky, Orton spoke irritably. Were it not for Rocky’s incomplete recovery, he might have been tempted to punch him on the head already.
“Rocky, don’t be afraid.”
At this point, Aniye spoke up.
Unlike Orton, Aniye had always conveyed a sense of calm and composure, which was normal given that he was over a hundred years old and had weathered many storms, accustomed to remaining unflustered in the face of most things.
So Aniye followed up saying to Rocky, “In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are necessary. We understand the difficulties you’re facing. At times like these, you must fight for what you can to ensure your survival, which is of the utmost importance.”
“This…”
Such words left Rocky stunned; he, of course, understood what they meant.
The difficulties Aniye referred to were clearly Rocky’s current predicaments, facing strong adversaries while having to conduct immensely taxing re
Standing beside Aniye, Orton anxiously said.
“Sigh…”
Aniye rubbed his temple, feeling helpless about his fellow apprentice brother. He wanted to explain but knew it was futile because in this regard, Orton was like an idiot. So in the end, he could only sigh and say, “You wouldn’t understand…”
Just as he finished speaking and Orton was about to question further, the door to Rocky’s sickroom was knocked. Following a series of knocks, the door was pushed open, and Councilman Huson walked in!
