The moon was bright and the stars were few.
It was already late autumn, and the night air was especially chilly. But the streets of Langya City remained as bustling as ever, a vibrant scene of neon lights and dazzling nightlife, filled with handsome men and beautiful women coming and going.
In a residential skyscraper downtown.
A mysterious figure, clad in black with a hood pulled low, was completely shrouded in shadow. They brazenly walked into the skyscraper, yet the night guard, staring with eyes as wide as saucers, didn't see the dark silhouette pass right in front of him.
He didn't take the elevator. Instead, he hummed a little tune as he made his way up the stairs. The TAP, TAP, TAP of his footsteps lit up the stairwell, one floor after another.
It was proof that even in a rarely used stairwell, the quality of the sound-activated lights was still quite good.
