Chapter 335 334: Interference

?At the heart of the Central Area of the City of Sin stood the central hub- a titanic structure that seemingly touched the heavens. Its sleek fa?ade, adorned with reflective surfaces, captured the luminescence of the city, creating an ethereal glow that pulsed with the rhythm of innovation.

The central hub rose majestically, its height dwarfing the surrounding skyscrapers. As Corey stood before the towering structure, he felt a sense of awe wash over him. The hub's colossal presence dominated the skyline, a symbol of the city's ambitions of reaching new heights.

As Corey observed the central hub, he squinted his eyes, and upon closer inspection, the intricacies of its design unfolded.

Cascading waterfalls adorned the sides of the hub, creating a harmonious blend of nature and technology. Lattice-like patterns, woven into the colossal structure, seemed to channel both mystic energy and the unknown energy Corey sensed on the walls and gate of the Central Area.

'It's almost as large as the Emporium.' Corey thought, and then he entered the building.

As Corey entered the expansive atrium at the hub's base, he was slightly stunned at the vastness within. Tall, slender pillars reached towards the ceiling, supporting an intricate web of transparent walkways that crisscrossed above. The air hummed with a faint resonance that only mystical beings and above, or beings with unique hearing abilities like Corey, could hear.

A feeling of serenity and calmness permeated the atmosphere with every hum of the resonance, and Corey was slightly intrigued by this.

Any normal mortal would feel at peace staying in this place, but since Corey was anything but normal, he was not affected.

'Interesting.'

Corey thought, then he continued his observation of the central hub's interior.

Elevators equipped with state-of-the-art technology ascended the towering structure, ferrying residents and visitors to its upper reaches. A panoramic view awaited those who reached the observation decks, offering a breathtaking vista of the city's sprawling landscape and the promise of a limitless future.

As Corey gazed at the central hub's interior, he could not appreciate its beauty and lack of complexity.

"I'm not going to lie. This place is actually beautiful. It can be compared to the Emporium."

"I know right. Even I was surprised when I saw this place."

Corey's eyes widened to its limit, and in less than a fraction of a second, he jumped forward and crouched in an offensive stance.

"Huh? What sort of speed and reflex is that?"

Corey's eyes became cold as he gazed at the owner of the voice, and he saw a middle-aged man with red hair, red eyes, and a full beard. The man wore a completely red robe of a mage.

Corey asked with a cold tone. He planned on wasting as much time as possible so that his talent skill, Record, could analyze the middle-aged man before him.

The middle aged man raised his brows at Corey's question, then he chuckled.

"You're just a mortal, and you lack respect. Such arrogance and confidence is rarely seen in mortals."

The middle-aged man shook his head, and Corey's heart rate increased a little. His stance subtly changed in a way that would allow him to react in the quickest way possible to any movement from the man.

Corey did not need his talent skill to know the tier of the man before him. His senses and past experience allowed him to know that the man before him was not an ordinary mystic being.

'If I'm lucky, he's an extremely powerful tier 4. If I'm unlucky... he's a tier 5.'

Corey thought with a drop of sweat moving from his forehead to his chin. The drop of sweat landed on the ground, and the man noticed this.

"Seems you're not as confident and arrogant as I believed. Smile Reaper."

The middle-aged man said with a smile, and Corey squinted his eyes.

"You know me."

Corey said, and the middle-aged man chuckled.

"Why would I ever bother myself with a tier 2 if I don't have business with him or her."

The middle-aged man shook his head, and Corey's mind raced with numerous thoughts and possibilities.

"So what business does a powerful mystic being have with a low-level mystical being like me?"

Corey asked with an emotionless tone, and the lips of the middle-aged curled up.

"Why do you keep on asking me useless questions kid? Are you actually dumb or you're trying to play dumb?"

The middle-aged man spoke with a disappointed tone, but Corey remained silent.

"Aren't you here to meet the heir of The House of Divine?"

The middle-aged man questioned with a smirk, and Corey's eyes flashed with a cold light.
