It was midnight, deep into the night.
The noise and the sound of "thump thump thump" that enveloped Camside City during the day had completely dissipated, leaving only the dim light of gas lamps by the roadside.
At some point, a delicate layer of white fog gradually appeared across the entire city, with an appearance somewhat real yet illusory under the hazy moonlight.
As if a gust of wind would blow it all away completely.
Step... step... step...
Suddenly, the chaotic sound of footsteps echoed in the night.
A middle-aged gentleman, still dressed in formal attire with a top hat and holding a gemstone staff as if about to attend a business meeting, emerged step by step from within the hazy fog.
Indeed, only one "person".
Even if one did not know this gentleman, merely looking at his attire of considerable value would signpost his identity as one of wealth and status.
And if any member of the high society in Camside City were present.
