As Amon looked ahead, he saw a wide path in front of him, stretching out to 10 meters before it reached a sharp left turn.
The whole pathway was dark due to the gigantic sizes of mana transformers to his left side that made light unable to reach the path.
However, light entered from the left turn of the pathway at the end, indicating that the area up ahead was illuminated.
Covering his feet in a liquid coating of blood to prevent them from making a sound against the hard metal floor.
Taking the turn, Amon found himself on a spacious floor, mana transformers all around him. In front of him, there were two staircases.
One led to the upper floor while the second one led to the lower floor, both of them separated by a railing.
A few meters ahead of him to his left and right were two more turns, leading to narrow pathways.
According to the map blueprint, they were the storage rooms for the wine and alcohol served on the first floor.
He frowned. He was cornered now.
As long as he even walked past the pathways, the guards standing in front of the wine cellars would spot him.
Furthermore, there were guards stationed midway on the staircases as well which made the normal travel method impossible.
Which was why, he had to resort to another method.
Fortunately, he had already planned this out before coming.
He bent his body and at that moment, activated the stealth mode of his cape, making him instantly go invisible.
Without wasting a moment, he ran towards the railing that joined the two staircases together. He passed the two turns and fortunately, no guard noticed him.

Focusing his attention upfront, he placed his hand on the railing and propelled himself into the air, jumping into the space between the two staircases.
He started falling at a rapid pace but quickly used [Eye of the Void] to slow down the world around him.
Where at one moment it was a rapid blur of motion, it transformed into an unrushed gentle motion in the next moment.
He looked to his sides and instantly spotted guards stationed at various spots on the staircases.
However, he quickly took off his gaze to not let them feel anything and looked below.
There were roughly 10 seconds left before he would land on the ground and create a noise loud enough to get spotted.
However, he exerted more mana into his eyes after some seconds, slowing the world down
even more.
The world was moving so slowly now that Amon could see even the smallest movement around him. Fully clear.
Just when there were about 3 seconds left for him to land, his gaze wandered around the ground floor, which was within his sight now.
He saw various customers sitting on the bar stools in the bar corner.
The barkeeper graciously poured drinks to the drunk people at every request.
However, that wasn't the purpose right now.
Amon's eyes quickly moved at a fast pace before settling into a completely dark and secluded corner of the floor.
Without wasting a second, he retrieved a metal bell from his inventory before throwing it with full force toward the corner using his blood-coated hand.
The bell went flying along with his body continuously falling towards the floor.
And just when the bell was mere inches from hitting the wall and his body was an inch from touching the floor, he disappeared from his place.
In the next moment, he was standing with his back to a wall, the one which the bell was inches away from hitting.
And the metal bell crashed into the spot where he was going to land a moment before.
A large ring resounded in the whole building, making everyone's heads sharply turn towards it, their bodies alerted.
And as soon as everyone's attention was taken, he quietly slipped towards a chair on the bar corner while also looking at the bell to not make anyone suspicious.
As he settled down on a seat, he noticed a guard immediately arrive at where the bell crashed and pick it up.
The guard next to him instantly looked up, following the trajectory from where it landed.
He quickly made some signs to the guard and both of them instantly rushed upstairs.
The guards around also started moving.
Fortunately, there wasn't any suspicious glance at him yet.
However, he was taken by surprise as he felt someone arrive in front of him.
He looked up and saw the old barkeeper standing before him, his gaze fixed on his mask.
"Welcome to Blackchain Enclave, would you like a drink?" He respectfully asked, something surprising for a building near the Black Market.
However, Amon respectfully shook his head without a word.
Despite him being 18, he refused to drink.
His father had told him multiple times to never drink when he would grow older, and he had always upheld by this rule.
Especially so after he unfortunately died.
Controlling some mounting feelings, he opened his mouth, his voice coming out deep.
"No need. I'll take a glass of water please." He requested the barkeeper and he nodded.
The latter quickly moved to the other side of the counter where he started to pour water in a
glass.
Meanwhile, Amon's eyes quickly moved towards a dark narrow pathway in the corner of the
floor, behind the bar counter.
His eyes narrowed behind the mask.
'That's the staircase to the floor below.'
[Someone's coming towards you.] Zephyra warned and he nodded internally.
'Yeah, I know.' He answered while still looking forward.
He feigned ignorance of the presence until he finally heard someone settle beside him.
Amon's eyes moved to the corner, finding an old fat man staring at him.
His cheeks were red and his eyes were dazing off, indicating he was probably drunk.
At that moment, the barkeeper arrived in front of him and respectfully set the glass of water
on the table.
Ignoring the old man stares, Amon focused in front of him and reached out his hand for the
glass.
'I hope I don't get muc-' His thoughts were abruptly interrupted as the old man besides him took the glass before him.
Before he could even say anything, the man splashed the water aside on the floor and set the glass back on the counter before throwing an arm around Amon.
"What's up man! Why don't ya drink a little!"
Thanks for reading!
Hello. Author here. I wanted to make a brief announcement with you all.
I'm very sorry for no chapters for the past 2 days as I was extremely sick but I'm better now. Second thing, unfortunately the golden ticket extra chapter target will remain no more and after I'm done with the other 3 extra chapters, the schedule will turn to 2 chapters per day
normally.
I'm sorry but this is because my colleges have started and I'm going to be very busy going
forward.
However, if on some days I miss my daily updates, I'll compensate for that with a mass
release.
Thank you.
