Rocky had his own ideas about where to get the money. He didn't want to borrow it because the more people found out he possessed Rune Technology, the more favors he would owe, and the more complicated his future would become. So, he thought of the Sky Alliance.
Rocky's relationship with the Sky Alliance had become increasingly subtle. After the Demon attacks had ended, the Sky Alliance also transferred Sirius City away. Though they provided some reasons at the time, everyone knew these were just excuses, effectively representing a stance taken by the Alliance.
This attitude undoubtedly signified that their relationship had completely derailed from its initial course, which was evident from Rocky's interactions with Lord Glan.
When Rocky had just joined the Alliance, he and Glan met almost every few days, whether Rocky visited him or he visited Rocky, their interactions were exceptionally warm. This phase could be considered Rocky's honeymoon period with the Alliance.
