Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 829: Chapter 811: Set an Example to Deter Others

This night, the four people in the cell stayed wide awake.

Ever since Athena came and revealed the news that Zuluo would be executed the next day, the four in the cell had been visibly shaken.

Zuluo needed no further words. From the moment Athena left, he was utterly broken, curling up in the corner of the cell like a fool, his gaze constantly locked in disbelief.

As for Denise and Kashu, they too had a sleepless night. But unlike Zuluo, their concern was not about him. They didn’t know Zuluo well, and the disparity in status and ability between them and Zuluo placed them on entirely different levels, so his life or death meant absolutely nothing to them. What truly terrified them was the signal behind Zuluo’s execution. This signal was undoubtedly a bad omen for them.

Even the Great Elder of the Magic Energy Research Institute closed his research notebook that night. Yet he was still the Great Elder, and while he wasn’t conducting his studies, he wasn’t scheming either—it was as if he was merely resting his eyes in anticipation, waiting for the final outcome.

Indeed, in some sense, even Zuluo, Denise, and Kashu were waiting for the final decision. Athena had declared Zuluo’s execution, but words were just words. Who could know for sure whether she was bluffing or not? Thus, nothing could be definitively resolved until the last moment.
