Adam has heard that the Currey family had been backing up Homer. Although Homer was unaware of Skylarâs identity, he has seen him in action before. Once Homer observed Skylarâs moves, he reported them to the Currey family.The Currey family had thoroughly researched Skylarâs background but to no avail. They did not fear a personâs notorious past, but an empty one. The fear of the unknown was the most frightening of them all.If no one could investigate Skylarâs past, it can only mean that he had the status that could compete against 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, âMr. Stone, I apologize for the disrespectful things I said earlier! Please forgive me!ââWhat happened to Mr. Currey?ââDid he address Skylar as Mr. Stone and plead for forgiveness?ââHas he lost his mind?âThe crowd was in an uproar. They were dazed to see Adam kneeling before Skylar.Alex, Ash, and the others were unable to fathom the reason behind Adamâs actions. Even Naomi did not expect Skylar to be able to instill deterrence.âCould it be that Skylar has a different status?ââHe joined the military before graduating from high school. Thereâs no way that he could achieve anything without a college diploma.ââPerhaps he reunited with his long-lost parents who had a wealthy background?ââThat could be the case. Thereâs no way that a low-ranking soldier like him could ever earn the respect of Mr. Currey.âThe crowd openly discussed their speculations. Skylar could not care less about that nonsense. He glanced at Adam and said, âKneeling is making you look bad.
Get back on your feet.â
