Phantom of Feast was one of the repertoire of the Seductive Theater. Angor already knew that the show was going to be a good one, but he still wanted to watch it. Lady Mirror kept urging him to come, probably because she wanted to tease him, but there was also a part of her true intentions. Angor covered his mouth and cleared his throat. "Then … I'll go with the spirit of learning."
After making up his mind, Angor jumped over the wall using a box nearby.
As soon as he landed, he saw groups of people rushing toward the front gate of the theater. Angor tidied up his clothes and followed the crowd.
Angor was dressed like a typical gentleman. From his collar to his sleeves, from his nails to his eyebrows, everything was clean and tidy. He looked like a well-educated young master of a noble family.
His attire made him stand out in the crowd of ordinary people who were covered in dirt. In other places, people would probably stay away from him to avoid trouble. But where was he? The capital of Darkivil Empire! The famous Midnight Sovereign! Whether it was the fierce Subhumans or the criminals who escaped from other countries, they all changed the morals and customs of Midnight Sovereign to another extreme. Angor walked among the crowd. Not only did people not move aside, but they also kept trying to get closer to Angor.
The theater was only a hundred meters away from the wall where Angor landed. Angor quickly chased away several groups of thugs who tried to steal something. These thugs were not stupid. They smiled at Angor apologetically and backed away.
Using his spirit feelers, Angor saw one of the thugs talking to a young woman behind a big tree with a bitter expression. After being chased away by Angor, several more groups of thugs came to the woman and reported to her.
Without a doubt, this woman was the leader of the thugs.
The women of Midnight Sovereign were not to be underestimated. Angor was wondering why only men came to steal money. It turned out that the women were all plotting behind the scenes.
The entrance of Seductive Theater was crowded with people, blocking Angor's view. Before he could use his spirit feelers to see what was going on, a gentle voice came from behind.
"Young Master, do you want to see the Phantom of the Feast tomorrow night?"
"There's a Phantom of Feast tomorrow night?" He turned around and saw the man talking to him was the leader of the thugs from before.
Just now, he couldn't see clearly with his spiritual tentacles, but when he looked closely, he didn't say that this gangster leader was quite beautiful.
Orange wavy hair, a petite face, gentle brown eyes, and a hot bra and hot pants. She was definitely a sexy stunner.
As soon as he saw the woman, he recalled Jon's words. "You're a beautiful woman, but why did you become a thief?"
He would never believe that such a beautiful woman was the leader of the bandits if he did not observe her carefully.
"That's right. You don't look like you're from Midnight Sovereign." The beauty smiled seductively. "The Phantom of the Feast is a repertoire of the Meixiang Theater. It's only performed twice a year, at the middle and end of the year. Look, there are so many people here. They're all here to buy tickets. "
Angor nodded. This was exactly the same as the Twilight Auction. Maybe this was how the show was arranged. Angor sensed the faint mana ripples coming from many people in the crowd.
"I see." Angor nodded in a serious manner.
"Young Master, do you want to see the Phantom of the Feast?" The beauty moved her finger in a circle and tried to touch Angor's chest.
Angor frowned. He sensed a fierce aura coming from Toby's body. If he let this woman touch him, he would probably become a cripple for the rest of his life.
Angor dodged the woman's hand and said, "Yes, I do want to watch."
The beauty's eyes narrowed. "It's not good to watch this drama alone. Why don't I accompany you? I guarantee that this drama will be more exciting."
Angor pretended to be innocent. "Who are you? Why do you want to watch it with me? "
"Young Master, you're so handsome, so I want to get closer to you." The beauty winked at Angor. "By the way, I'm Ananda, the daughter of the city guard captain. Don't worry, I'm lying to you."
Angor didn't say anything. He didn't believe the woman's words. She probably wanted to steal from him as well.
"Young Master, did you come to Midnight Sovereign alone? How about I become the local guard and show you the beautiful scenery of Midnight Sovereign? " Seeing that Angor didn't say anything, Ananda reached out her hand again and tried to grab Angor's left arm.
At the same time, Angor sensed with his spirit feelers that a hoodlum was approaching him from behind. The hoodlum kept staring at the money pouch hanging on Angor's right waist.
"So, they're here to distract us." Angor muttered to himself. Why were there so many hoodlums eyeing his money pouch ever since he came to Midnight Sovereign? It was one thing if they didn't work hard, but did all the people in Midnight Sovereign like to steal?
Before the hoodlum could get close, Angor reached out an invisible Hand of Spell and grabbed his ankle. "Ouch!" The hoodlum tripped and fell to the ground.
Angor turned around in "surprise" and tried to get rid of Ananda's hand.
But to his surprise, Ananda's grip was too strong. He couldn't get rid of her hand.
At this time, Ananda also saw the embarrassing appearance of her subordinate. She secretly gritted her teeth and angrily glared at that person.
Angor was surprised by Ananda's strength. His eyes lit up as he smiled at Ananda. "There's no need to be a local security guard. I just want to buy something. Since you're so strong, why don't you work as my porter?"
Ananda didn't know what to say. What did she just hear? How could a man ask a woman to be his porter when he went shopping?
"You've lost your mind —" Ananda was about to mock him when Angor took out two gold coins from his pouch. "Of course, I'll pay you."
Ananda's eyes lit up when she saw the shiny coins. She quickly nodded and changed her mind. "No problem! Leave it to me! It's just carrying something! Let me tell you, I'm called Ananda the Strong Lady in Midnight Sovereign! "
"You don't have to carry anything. Just rent a cart and follow me." Angor nodded and pointed at a tree nearby. "Then you can wait for me behind that tree."
Ananda looked at the tree and frowned. She had been hiding behind that tree all this time.
"It's … It's fine. I'll stay here with the young master." Ananda hesitated. She remembered that the hoodlum climbed over the wall. She kept an eye on him all the way, so he shouldn't have seen her. It must be a coincidence, unless he had eyes on the back of his head.
Angor kept smiling. "Alright, I'll stay here with you. Tell your men to buy me a ticket."
Angor took out two gold coins and tossed them to the hoodlum whose nose was bleeding from the fall. The hoodlum looked at him blankly and asked Ananda to move forward.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand …" Ananda gulped.
"You're not qualified to be a hoodlum leader. I already told you what to do. Shouldn't you try to fight me, then I'll teach you a lesson so that you'll listen to me? You didn't follow the script. What a bummer. "Angor looked at the hoodlum who was still in a daze and sighed.
"If you don't line up now, I'll get mad when you can't get a ticket." With that, Angor used Hand of Spell to pick up the hoodlum and threw him to the front of the crowd.
Angor purposely avoided the supernaturals who had mana ripples and let the hoodlum land in a relatively empty spot.
Still, the energy ripples caused by Hand of Spell still attracted the attention of many supernaturals. Surprisingly, none of them showed any hostility toward Angor. Instead, they all looked at Angor with a "knowing" smile and gave him a perverted look. A middle-aged female apprentice winked at Angor and sent him a voice transmission. "Hey, mister. How about we sit together tomorrow night and discuss the plot?"
Angor didn't know how to use voice transmission yet, so he could only wave a hand awkwardly at the female apprentice, who rolled her eyes at him.
"Are … are you a wizard?" Ananda's mind raced when she saw her subordinate being knocked away by Angor's attack. She stared at Angor in utter shock.
Angor nodded and turned around. "Let's go. I'll go buy something after your men buy the tickets. Sorry to trouble you then."
…
Angor thought Ananda would restrain herself a little after knowing who he was. But he was wrong. Ananda did stop showing off her flirtatious side. She kept whispering in his ear, "Sir, can I become a wizard?", "Sir, what's the requirement to become a wizard?", "Sir, can you be my teacher if I warm your bed?", "Sir, can you become my teacher if I warm your bed?"
In the end, Angor had no choice but to say, "Shut up. One more word and I'll kill you."
Ananda stopped talking and looked at Angor with an innocent look.
From the moment she bought the tickets to Phantom of the Feast to the moment she entered Twilight Well again, Ananda did not say a word even though her eyes were wide open in surprise.
Finally, Angor had some peace and quiet.
He noticed that Ananda didn't say anything, but she seemed to be trying her best to remember every detail of what happened inside Twilight Well. Unfortunately, her memory would be erased when they left.
With the help of the workers, Angor began to take Ananda on a quest.
Angor started buying basic materials according to his needs. Echo Flower, Magic Lily of the Valley, Pale Moonshine, Moon-Gazing Scorpion's back, Silk Bear Butterfly's scale powder … Some of them were necessary for Angor, while others he bought on a whim after seeing their effects.
Angor bought a cart full of basic materials in one shop.
About half a day later, Angor's shopping cart was fully filled. There were all kinds of odd-looking materials, including plants and minerals, as well as things in bottles and jars. Ananda had been pushing the cart. She thought Angor would stop here when she saw the cart was full.
But she was shocked when she saw what Angor did next. Angor took out a strange capsule and opened it. All the materials were sucked inside.
"Alright, let's keep going!" Angor spoke in high spirits.
Ananda was puzzled. Is that a space artifact? Why didn't you use it from the start?
He planned his purchases carefully. From music box crafting, weapons crafting, energy stabilizers, materials for space storage, and so on, he bought every material he saw.
At first, some of the shop assistants wondered what Angor was going to do with the materials. But when they realized that Angor was buying everything, they gave up the idea.
By lunchtime, Angor had filled up five single-use space capsules.
