Chapter 584: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Receiving Rocky's order, Uncle Will immediately ran to the bridge, and then sent a communication to the other party as he requested.

As a result, after the news spread, there was no response for a long time.

Of course, such a result is also expected, because it is conceivable that the other party must be confused after receiving the message sent by Rocky!

The fleet in front of him, including Skyfury City, was to take Zuro home, and it had already set off long before Rick issued an ultimatum to Rocky, which undoubtedly represented Rick's self-confidence.

In his opinion, whether Rocky agrees to his claim for compensation or not, his son will always be able to get it back, and the worst Rick can imagine is that Rocky will not agree to his demand, but at least he will let Zuro go.

Logically it is true, but there is one premise, and that is that there is no Athena!

According to Rocky's original plan, Rick's unreasonable request he would never agree to, but he would indeed let Zuro go, but Athena did not agree with his approach and gave a very good reason.

First, for Rocky, Zuro is not only a hostage, but also a talisman, as long as he is controlled in his hands, then regardless of whether Rick is the city lord or the sect leader, he doesn't dare to easily touch Rocky's half of the cold hair, otherwise he will harm his son, plus now the attitude of the Sky Alliance is becoming more and more incomprehensible, so Rocky must not easily give up this talisman.

Second, if Zu Luo is released, then Rocky will face two ends, or the matter will come to an end, or he will continue to be embarrassed by Tianzu City, and if someone is really targeting him behind his back, then the other party must have arranged everything, and then Rocky will fall into passivity, in order to avoid this situation, Rocky must take the initiative to create a third result, and this result must be beyond everyone's imagination, which can disrupt the other party's arrangement.

Therefore, Athena thought of this way, that is, to take the initiative to make conditions to Tianzu City, so that they can compensate Rocky in turn, and only in this way can Zuluo be exchanged!

For this reason, Athena personally formulated a compensation demand, according to the compensation she formulated, if Celestial Ancestor City wanted to exchange for Zuro, it would first have to pay Rocky five million gold coins as compensation, and at the same time provide ten sets of fifth-generation Cthulhu special battle armor, as well as ten fifth-generation destroyers.

This is the compensation conditions proposed by Athena, it seems to be a lion's big mouth, but it is actually very ingenious, because these conditions seem to be a lot, but they are definitely within the tolerance of Tianzu City, and even more so for Rick, which is nothing compared to his son's life.

But in the same way, these conditions are not a small amount, if they are really met, they can't be done without tens of millions of gold coins, so it's time to test Rick, not to test whether he is willing to pay these prices for his son, but to test whether there is anyone behind him!

If not, then Rick's reaction to these conditions will eventually be considered, after all, his son is in Rocky's hands, but if there is someone behind him, then Rick's reaction will be completely different.

And just like Athena imagined, the Wrath City sent by Rick was completely unaware of Athena's plan, so when the news spread, the other party did not respond for a long time, because they were indeed shocked by Rocky's conditions.

In the face of Luo Qiti's conditions, the fleet commander was confused, because the development of the situation was obviously completely beyond his expectations, so he immediately reported the matter to his superiors, and then reported it layer by layer, and finally reported it to the city lord of Heavenly Fury City.

"What did you say?"

After hearing the report of his subordinates, the city lord of Heavenly Fury City, Erwin, who was originally in the study, was directly stunned, and then looked at the officer in front of him: "What are you saying again, what does Rocky want?"

"My lord, he has made a request for compensation to us, saying that only if these demands are met will the young master be released. ”

Although he thought it was a little incredible, the officer in front of Erwin repeated what he had just said, and then handed Alwyn a written document that had just been written, which clearly stated Rocky's request.

"What are you kidding......"

Taking the information and looking at it, Erwin couldn't believe his eyes, and he had to frown until he confirmed that he had read and heard correctly.

Obviously, the development of events was completely unexpected, so that the lord of the city did not know what to do, so after a short thought, he immediately stood up.

"Let the fleet outside stand by and I'll go and ask the Sect Master. ”

After saying this, he hurriedly left the study.

As he went to ask Shirek, the fleet facing Rocky outside was more awkward, facing the lone battleship of the Warhorse, more than fifty warships could do nothing but stand still, and could only stop in the air in embarrassment.

"Sir, don't wait, go back. ”

Just when the fleet of the City of Wrath was embarrassed, Athena had already come to Rocky's side on the deck, and then spoke.

"Already see?"

"Well, there must be someone behind the scenes directing Heavenly Ancestor City. ”

Nodding, Athena said with great certainty that in her opinion, the other party did not give a response for so long, but it was actually a response.

If the conflict between Tianzu City and Rocky was just an isolated incident, then when Rocky's request was reported, even if it was reported to Rick's ears layer by layer, it would be enough to have a result now, because for Rick, the result was very simple, he either agreed or disagreed, or first threatened with force and then negotiated, nothing more than these three options, and for a big man like Rick, no matter which way he chose to deal with it, it didn't take too long to think about it.

But now, Rick's reaction time has greatly exceeded the reaction time of a big man of his level, what does this mean?

Of course not, to be able to sit in his position, to be both the lord of a city and the lord of a sect, Rick is absolutely extraordinary, his knowledge and experience are very human, and it is impossible for this kind of person to hesitate when making decisions.

So this can only mean that he is also discussing with others, and he has not discussed the result for a while, so he has not given Rocky a response, so in Athena's opinion, Rocky does not have to wait, and they already know everything they want to know.
