Adam has heard that the Currey family had been backing up Homer. Although Homer was unaware of
Skylar’s identity, he has seen him in action before. Once Homer observed Skylar’s moves, he reported
them to the Currey family.
The Currey family had thoroughly researched Skylar’s background but to no avail. They did not fear a
person’s notorious past, but an empty one. The fear of the unknown was the most frightening of them
all.
If no one could investigate Skylar’s past, it can only mean that he had the status that could compete
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtagainst the government. It was the reason that Adam had a sudden change in behavior after hearing
his name.
A single reply from Skylar left Adam trembling on the spot, for he was the man that Homer had brought
up countless times. The seemingly collected man that was seated at that moment had the power to
annihilate Cloudtopia if he was provoked.
Harry Chase, Nicholas Wexler, Christopher Wexler, and Strickler Moody were the few people who had
provoked Skylar in the past. None of them survived his wrath in the end. None from their respective
families dare to seek revenge.
Moreover, Adam had heard from Homer that even Old Mr. Shepard displays the utmost respect
whenever he interacted with Skylar. It was all proof that Skylar possessed incredible power.
Adam could not feel his legs after all those thoughts surged through his mind. He fell on his knees and
uttered, “Mr. Stone, I apologize for the disrespectful things I said earlier! Please forgive me!”
“What happened to Mr. Currey?”
“Did he address Skylar as Mr. Stone and plead for forgiveness?”
“Has he lost his mind?”
The crowd was in an uproar. They were dazed to see Adam kneeling before Skylar.

“Could it be that Skylar has a different status?”
“He joined the military before graduating from high school. There’s no way that he could achieve
anything without a college diploma.”
“Perhaps he reunited with his long-lost parents who had a wealthy background?”
“That could be the case. There’s no way that a low-ranking soldier like him could ever earn the respect
of Mr. Currey.”
The crowd openly discussed their speculations. Skylar could not care less about that nonsense. He
glanced at Adam and said, “Kneeling is making you look bad. Get back on your feet.”
