Chapter 516 - 516: Reversal of Identity
"Teacher, my mystical beasts have all completed their promotions. When are we heading back?" After returning to the hotel, Charles contacted Teacher Ezra by phone.
The main purpose of his trip to the Haunted Marsh had already been fulfilled. He had found the Gold Essence and Wind Dew, completed Mia and Little Gold's promotions, and even managed to upgrade Mia's quality from emerald to diamond.
On top of that, he had met the legendary blacksmith giant Bellamy and received a list of materials for strengthening his Black Gold Long Knife. It was a trip full of gains.
Charles planned to take another stroll through the Nightless District in the evening not only to enjoy the view of the district at night but also to
The convenience store Charles had entered earlier was merely one of the entrances. There were many others like it.
Charles took a brief glance around the environment, then, noticing the three individuals behind him hadn't yet entered, he seized the opportunity. With full force, he activated Moon Riding Wind, blending into the crowd of people moving back and forth.
The next moment, the three people who had been following him quickly emerged, but they instantly stopped in their tracks. They looked at the passing crowd, unsure of what to do next.
"Damn it, we lost him. I remember, he was wearing a red monkey mask, plain clothes, and white shoes," one of them muttered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person at the back suddenly said, "It's not that we lost him. He spotted us."
In an instant, the two people in front turned to look at the one at the back, disbelief evident on their faces.
"How did you tell?" one of them asked.
No one answered.
"Sigh, never mind. Let's just search slowly. Remember, red monkey mask, plain clothes, white shoes. Don't act recklessly when you find him," one of them commanded.
At this point, Charles had already arrived at the black market's restroom. He casually took out some alchemy materials from his Storage Space, materials that could be used for dyeing, and quickly applied them to his mask. In no time, the mask turned black.
He also made a few simple changes to his appearance before confidently walking out of the restroom, casually strolling around.
"Really, three incompetent stalkers. Not paying attention to the details at all," Charles thought as he walked.
He knew that the three who had been following him were likely the ones who had been watching him in the hotel lobby.
Because when he was outside, Charles had smelled a very familiar scent it was the incense from the hotel lobby.
Plus, right after he entered the yard, those three had followed him in, so Charles had already figured out they weren't first timers. The short time gap between their actions suggested that only those who knew the convenience store was an underground black market entrance would be able to follow him so quickly.
At that moment, Charles had already been giving them a hint, but no one had picked up on it.
"Well, it's boring anyway. I might as well stroll around and see if I can find where those three are. The roles of hunter and prey have switched now."
Charles twitched his nose, constantly sniffing the air around him, starting to search for that familiar, distinct scent of incense.
Now, he was the hunter.
