Standing in front of a large building, Christian stared at the name displayed above the entrance: Aether & Co.
Located in the heart of Manhattan, where Essence Wielders were most concentrated, the place had caught his attention. He hadn't asked Iris what it was, deliberately leaving it as a small surprise for himself.
Now, he already understood that it was an Essence-related store.
What kind of things could they possibly have?
Skeptical and expecting little, Christian walked toward the entrance.
He was stopped before he could enter.
"Please show your invitation."
"Where do I get one?"
The guard remained silent, and Christian frowned slightly.
Should I ask Iris? Or Eva?
Before he could decide, a man's voice sounded from behind him.
"I have an invitation, and can take you in with me."
Christian turned around.
The man was an Essence Wielder in the First Mastery Stage, dressed in refined clothes and carrying himself with a certain confidence.
Small fry.
