Chapter 783: Chapter 745: The Attitude of the Committee

After glancing at Rocky, Liliya hurriedly introduced that the young man before them, who was about the same age as they were, was the son of the Chairman of the Eternal City Committee!

Like the Sky Alliance, the Eternal City wasn’t owned by any one person; it was governed by a committee. Thus, one could imagine how high the status of the Chairman of that Committee was. Liliya’s introduction to Rocky was naturally meant to inform him of the young man’s identity before them.

After listening to Liliya’s words, Rocky indeed was startled, having never expected that someone of such status would come to see him.

As mentioned before, based on various ‘encounters’ after arriving in the Eternal City–from deliberate reception to being followed and surveilled–Rocky had essentially concluded that the Eternal City Committee and The Three Great Alliances were in cahoots, so he hadn’t anticipated that the Eternal City Committee would send someone to meet with him under these circumstances.

Perhaps some might say that this young person was only the son of the Guild President and didn’t represent the Committee, right?

Thinking so would be quite naive. Given the current situation and Rocky’s identity and predicament, how could the Committee’s Chairman possibly allow his son to meet with Rocky? Without a doubt, the other party’s visit to Rocky might seem unrelated to the Committee, but considering the visitor’s identity and the current situation, things were certainly far more complicated.

“City Lord Rocky, I’ve long admired your reputation; meeting you in person is indeed more impressive than what I’ve heard.”

While Rocky was slightly caught off guard, Aurora, the son of the Committee Chairman–brought before him by Liliya–had already approached him and said with a hearty laugh.

“Oh, the young master flatters me.”

Regaining his composure upon hearing this, Rocky quickly smiled and invited Aurora to sit down, taking a seat himself afterwards.

“City Lord Rocky, I’ve seen the Combat Skills Arena matches you’ve participated in before. The strength of the White Demon Armor in battle is simply breathtaking. I’ve always felt that if you had continued to compete, Denise might not necessarily have won the championship.”

Aurora’s personality was just like his smile, very hearty, and he started chatting directly with Rocky about the Arena matches as soon as he sat down. But don’t mistake this for Aurora being overly familiar; this actually demonstrated his excellent communicative abilities. Since Rocky had previously participated in Arena matches, this topic was most appropriate and comfortable, helping to avoid any awkwardness during this first meeting.

Sure enough, Rocky smiled in response, fully aware that Aurora was looking for a topic of conversation. Thus, they chatted for a while until the roaring cheers from outside signaled the commencement of the matches, and it was only then that their conversation came to a temporary pause.

The thunderous applause from the arena indicated that the competing contestants had made their appearance, and it also interrupted the casual conversation between Rocky and Aurora. They resumed eye contact only after the cheering had subsided.

“Young Master Aurora, you came here for…?”

Turning his attention back to Aurora, Rocky clearly didn’t intend to continue with small talk and asked directly.

To his question, instead of appearing surprised, Aurora smiled, glanced at Rocky and shot back, “City Lord Rocky, you must be aware of The Three Great Alliances’ intentions this time, right?”

Rocky was straightforward, yet Aurora was even more direct, cutting straight to the core without hesitation.

Although Rocky was somewhat startled by this question, he didn’t hide anything and simply nodded, “Quite clear.”

“Good! City Lord Rocky, you’re truly forthright.”

Seeing that Rocky didn’t beat around the bush, Aurora laughed twice and continued, “City Lord Rocky, may I ask, how do you plan to deal with The Three Great Alliances?”

“Heh.”

At Aurora’s question, Rocky chuckled but did not reply, because the answer obviously exceeded the scope of what Aurora should know, and so Rocky would not provide any answer.

Aurora seemed to realize that his question was a bit presumptuous. When Rocky gave him a slight smile, he too laughed heartily and let the matter drop. Then, Aurora went on to say, “City Lord Rocky, we in the Eternal City have always maintained our stance, we remain neutral.”

“Oh?”

Aurora’s statement made Rocky frown involuntarily, and he unconsciously looked towards the Guard Captain standing behind Aurora. Aurora noticed Rocky’s action and subsequently smiled, “City Lord Rocky, perhaps there’s been a misunderstanding. Captain Sika was sent by my father to protect you, nothing more.”

Plain-speaking was the hallmark of the wise, and Aurora exemplified this when he realized that Rocky must have noticed the Guard Captain’s tracking and candidly revealed the truth.

He was right; the Guard Captain referred to as Sika had indeed been following Rocky, not for surveillance but for protection, because the Eternal City Committee was not involved in The Three Great Alliances’ plans!

According to Aurora, The Three Great Alliances had indeed approached the Committee, partly to arrange the pre-war mobilization meeting and partly to discuss how to coordinate with the Eternal City once the war started, and, in the end, regarding the matter of Rocky.

According to what The Three Great Alliances had hoped, they wanted the Eternal City to join their plan. If so, they would almost certainly be guaranteed victory. For this reason, The Three Great Alliances proposed quite tempting conditions, which indeed swayed some of the members, but the majority of the members, led by Aurora’s father, expressed a clear refusal.

In Aurora’s father’s view, the Eternal City had no need to wade into these murky waters. He believed that even if Rocky held Rune Technology, he would still deal with the Eternal City, naturally making them business partners. Why antagonize him?

As for the other high-sounding reasons proposed by The Three Great Alliances, Aurora’s father was even less inclined to heed them. According to The Three Great Alliances, the reason they wanted to seize the Rune Technology from Rocky was entirely to benefit the whole Sky, in preparation for the counter-offensive war to be launched in six months. But in Aurora’s father’s eyes, this was all nonsense. How could such a venture be without self-interest? Therefore, he did not acquiesce to The Three Great Alliances’ various demands.

“Nevertheless, City Lord Rocky, you still need to be cautious.”

After restating the Committee’s position, Aurora changed the subject again and added, “Even though the majority of members, represented by my father, refused to collude with The Three Great Alliances, there are still some members who have been persuaded by them. So the Committee has made some concessions regarding this matter…”
