Chapter 224: Chapter 228: Seeking Justice!
When Rocky felt that this time he was indeed out of luck, Liliya told him that the matter was not yet finished.
Originally, when the investigation in Eternal City ended and they planned to leave the matter at that, Orton refused to accept it!
Knowing that the outcome of Eternal City’s investigation was inconclusive, Orton immediately ran to the Eternal City Hall. The old man was truly determined; he ranted in the city hall all day, forcing the administrative officer to call a councilman.
It was inevitable, after all, Orton was no ordinary old man; he was a master in the academic world, a well-known scholar with outstanding achievements in the Magic Energy Domain. So, despite the fact he had no money or power, and his relationship with Rocky wasn’t exactly legitimate, Eternal City still had to treat him with respect.
But although Eternal City treated Orton politely, they were also quite firm, emphasizing from the start that the investigation into the matter had concluded, and insisting that all the assassins were dead, they planned to leave the matter at that.
This attitude did not change even after the councilman arrived; instead, it became even harder. Although the councilman was very polite to Orton, he did not agree to any of his requests, maintaining from beginning to end that the investigation concerning this matter had ended, and so had the matter itself.
...
In fact, the side of Eternal City also knew what Orton wanted, which was simply compensation, and Orton didn’t hide his motives, making it clear from the beginning that he wanted compensation for Rocky from Eternal City, since the assassination had occurred there, and they could not completely disassociate themselves from it.
However, this idea of Orton’s was something Eternal City would never agree to, not because they were unwilling to compensate, but because if they compensated Rocky, wouldn’t that mean that the responsibility for the assassination would fall on Eternal City?
Such responsibility, whether true or not, Eternal City could never bear, so they would not offer any compensation to Rocky.
Logically speaking, at this point, the matter should have nearly concluded; after all, the arm is no match for the thigh, and Orton could hardly confront Eternal City with just his own strength.
But the matter did not end there; instead, it got even bigger! Because on the third day after the investigation ended, the day Rocky woke up, Orton directly sought Aniye to pressure Eternal City!
Now, Eternal City really had a headache.
Because to ordinary people Aniye might sound like a stranger, but anyone of status knew who he was, a pioneer involved in the Sky City project was nearly no different from a great man, not knowing him would make one the subject of ridicule.
Compared to the emotionally unintelligent Orton, who only knew how to rant recklessly, Aniye was obviously much more cunning. Being in a transcendent position, he naturally would not engage in mutual slander but firmly seized the point that Rocky’s identity was not only that of a city lord but also a student of Orton and him. By treating Rocky superficially, Eternal City was neglecting Orton and him.
“Exactly! Do you know what Rocky is re
Only after this did Aniye turn to Huson: “Since Congressman Huson has already stated that we will investigate this matter, I assume Eternal City will certainly give us an explanation, right?”
“Yes! Yes! Master, you are absolutely right. We will definitely ensure a thorough investigation of this matter and provide a satisfactory explanation to City Lord Rocky.”
“That’s good…”
After nodding, Aniye seemed to genuinely believe Huson’s words. He then stood up and said with a smile, “Congressman Huson, since that’s the case, we leave this matter entirely in your hands. I still have to meet with the people from the Shadow Alliance and clarify this situation. Therefore, I won’t disturb you any further.”
After saying these words, Aniye turned and left. Angrily following behind was Orton, who, just before leaving, roared at Huson, “Just you wait! If Eternal City does not provide an explanation for my apprentice, I will go to the Shadow Alliance. I’ll let everyone judge! Let’s see if you can cover the sky with one hand!”
