A place Steven never thought his foot would step into one day
But he still had to go there Steven wanted to search there hoping to find some clues that would benefit him
Although he knows that since he has this information then surely other awakened also have it
Steven was sure that he is not the only one who went to this place and that there are others who went before him but he still has to go to check with his own eyes
Steven asked Jens
"How did they appear there?"
Jens looked at the pile of papers on his desk and was about to sigh in exhaustion
"A rank B awakened who used to frequently go to that nightclub was killed and the mark of the organization was carved on his chest and most likely the lover of that awakened was the witness as she was found sleeping next to him that day and she was not injured at all but for some reason it seems she does not remember the events of the previous night before the awakened was killed"
"After discussions with the heads of the other guilds regarding the fate of the girl as she was a source of suspicion after it was revealed that she is a non-awakened girl and also she was pregnant with that awakened child the procedures that stated imprisoning her were stopped and they only placed watchers on her"
"As for those who killed the rank B awakened we could not find any trace of them"
Steven lowered his head while thinking then after that he turned to leave
"I will go"
Jens asked him quickly
"Will you go there?"
Steven steps stopped and he slightly turned his head then nodded
Jens sighed
"Alright take care of yourself but be very careful although me and Carlos dealt with the demon followers who want you dead during your vacation that you did not visit me in they are trying as much as they can to find you if they find your trace maybe their attack will be more dangerous"
Steven frowned although he did not reach the guild during his vacation but this does not prevent him from getting information about the events there but no news reached him about an event that required old Carlos to intervene in it
'Did the old man not tell me this so that he would not make me worry?'
Steven was confused to the point that he felt a stab of pain in his chest
He raised his hand and placed it on his heart
'Why do I feel pain here?'
Steven ignored the discomfort that crept into him and spoke to Jens
"I will be careful"
Then Steven left the guild and summoned his eagle and headed towards area 35
Steven landed in a random place inside area 35 and found an empty place where he took off his cloak and placed it in his storage ring
He had decided how to enter that nightclub
Although his path only took a quarter of an hour it was enough time for Steven to think about several matters
Steven was almost sure of the existence of a connection between the organizations and the demons as perhaps the organizations were under the control of the demons
And there is something strange about the Hollow Crown organization why did they want to kill that awakened and why did they keep his lover alive?
Are they trying to eliminate the awakened gradually to weaken human power? Or do they have something else they are doing?
Steven decided to become a visitor who comes to this nightclub after his friend recommended this place to him
Steven also suspected that this place is not like normal places perhaps it has a connection with the organization so he decided that he must reveal that he is an awakened but he also will not reveal his original rank to avoid any danger
Steven reduced the height that he uses to disguise as Black Crow as the height of Black Crow was 187 cm and his height became about 178 cm and he changed his hair color to a bright yellow color and his eyes to golden color and added a little tan to his white skin
Steven went to any nearby store and bought clothes in a style different from his style with a brown long sleeve shirt and wide milky colored pants and styled his hair backwards
Now he became different from what he was perhaps only those who know him if they focused on him a little they would feel familiarity toward his facial features
Steven unbuttoned the top button of his shirt then took a taxi and went to that nightclub whose name is Venezia
Steven got out of the car in front of the club door on which there was a sign written on it "Venezia"
Steven ignored the looks that fell on him as the passersby on the road stopped and started looking at him he was extremely eye catching
After Steven entered the club a group of girls entered behind him it seems that even the girls who were heading to another path changed their direction and entered the club after Steven
Inside the lights were of mixed colors overlapping with each other forming a strange mix and as Steven entered step by step the sounds started to rise
Even the unpleasant smell of alcohol started to fill Steven nose Steven was annoyed by the smell of alcohol mixed with some other smells
Steven entered and reached a large hall filled with people of different ages most of them were dancing to loud music while others were sitting drinking alcohol and surrounded by girls
The place was in great chaos for Steven who had never entered such a place at all
Steven found an empty seat and sat on it but as soon as he sat he was surrounded by three girls
The girl with short yellow hair smiled and spoke in a seductive voice
"Hello I have not seen you before are you new? ~"
The other girl with a braid pushed the short yellow haired girl and spoke to Steven
"Yes young man I have not seen you before maybe you want someone to chat with?"
The girl with short yellow hair gritted her teeth in anger but she held herself and stood firmly and pushed the braided girl more strongly
While there was a hidden fight between the two girls the other girl with dark turquoise hair placed a glass of beer in front of Steven and smiled a beautiful smile
"The place is a bit noisy here isn't it?"
Steven was extremely annoyed by the strange events he is going through now he felt disgusted by everything but he must control himself he had to act like a normal visitor who shows off his rank in order to inform all the people in this place that he is an awakened
Yes he is using himself as bait to attract insects
Steven raised his head imitating David movement strangely and raised his hand and brushed his yellow hair backwards with his fingers and looked at the girl with turquoise hair and spoke in a beautiful voice but carrying a tone of annoyance
"Yes it is very noisy but with Nathan recommendation of this place I will stay for a while to see what happens"
Steven did not try to think of the name of the friend who recommended this place to him he just used the name Nathan because it was the first name that came to his mind
The girl was extremely stunned by Steven appearance as her mind wandered a little while thinking
'I can die in peace after seeing such an appearance I am very lucky'
After she regained her senses a little she spoke to Steven
"Oh you came with a friend recommendation to here"
Steven nodded his head and spoke with a bit of arrogance tone that David uses
"Although I am a strong awakened and I do not like such places but my friend convinced me to come"
(Author /this is not you Steven why are you accusing Nathi my dear he is innocent sitting quietly in his room)
The girl eyes shone with greed
"Oh really are you an awakened this is great what rank are you?"
Steven almost frowned at the girl look but he controlled himself
"I am rank B"
The girl approached him with excitement and spoke
"This is amazing how old are you?!"
Steven stepped back a little away from the girl and spoke coldly
"I am 23 years old"
The girl nodded her head
"One year older than me this is great"
"Here this wine is expensive you can drink it"
The girl pointed to the glass of wine that she had placed earlier in front of Steven
Steven frowned while looking at the wine in front of him and spoke to the girl
"I do not drink wine or any alcohol"
The girl nodded sadly then suddenly raised her head remembering something
"Oh right there is also natural juice here I can bring you one"
The two girls who were fighting noticed the girl who was with Steven and felt angry so they quickly pushed her away from Steven
After Steven stayed for some time there he finally managed to get out of the chaos of this place and return to the academy
'I must continue going to this disgusting place for a while to know if they will take the bait'
After returning to his room inside the academy he found that Nathan was sleeping and the blue diary was open in his hand and the light was on
Steven took the blue diary closed it and placed it on the table next to the bed and covered Nathan before turning off the light and going to shower and sleep
On the next morning after the first class ended
The student Miles who joined yesterday the Bone Breakers gang stood with a group of students
Miles stood in front of Steven Nathan and David and spoke
"We found a suitable place for our gang it is spacious"
Nathan who was yawning sleepily regained his energy and looked at Miles
"Come on lead the way"
Steven suddenly had a bad feeling
And with leading the way Miles took them to the place that they considered the gang headquarters
Steven looked at the place and his bad feeling was confirmed
Of course it was the same large underground hall that Steven found and eliminated the monsters inside it and considered it a place for his training inside the academy
