Jacob exits the taxi after paying fifty gold coins. A thousand meters away from him was a colossal wall that went all the way to the ceiling of the Dark City. There were no gates in this wall, but instead, there were skyways built for cable lifts. At this moment, Jacob was standing right outside the station of these cable lifts.

'So, behind that wall is the Dark Inner Circle of the Dark City? Quite a brilliant idea to make skyways instead of gates. They took full advantage of the underground terrain and made their core areas almost impossible to sneak into.' Jacob thought with a faint cold smile, 'Let's see if I can find more interesting things in there.'

Without hesitation, he walked inside the station, which was quite empty since those nobles of the inner circle seldom appeared in the common circle, just like Braylon.

Jacob was stopped in front of a closed door that led toward the upper level of the station.

Just he was wondering if he would push it or not, Dark Rose's voice rang from a metal speaker beside the door, "Sir, Jack, would you like to book a ticket for your journey to Dark Inner Circle?"

Jacob glanced at the speaker and nodded, "Sure."

"It would be 10,000 Gold Coins. Would you like to continue?"

"Continue," Jacob said without hesitation. He just got over fifty thousand free ZC, so he was quite rich. A few thousand gold coins were nothing but chump change for him.

The very next moment, a payment was deducted from his account, and with a mechanic's beep, the metal door was chick opened, revealing an escalator that started moving right after the door was opened.

Jacob walked forward without much surprise, and the thick metal door behind him closed automatically.

Unbeknownst to Jacob, a few pairs of eyes were staring at the entrance of the inner circle dark city's station where he had vanished a few moments ago.

"What now? The target is already left for the inner circle. We don't have the lower dark noble title to enter that place." A cloaked man helplessly stated.

"Who would've thought our target is also a Dark Noble? This made things complicated. Because even if we had killed him in the dark city, we won't be able to escape alive since killing a dark noble within the dark city is directly punished by death by torture!" Another male voice exclaimed with a hint of terror.

A small two feet figure looked at the entrance and sighed ruefully, "Our information is still dormant, and it doesn't matter anymore. We are no longer qualified to claim this target. Only those members in the inner circle are. Let's just report it to our leaders…."

In a secluded alley of the common circle, a small cloaked figure entered with hurried steps like someone was after it.

After walking to the end of the alley, which was completely blocked by a brick wall, the figure suddenly moved its hand and pressed it on a particular brick, and like a button, the brick was squeezed inside.

Thereby, a faint, crisp voice rang, "Your unique password and Badge Number?"

The small figure replied faintly, "I am the Lord of Gutter and Slave of Darkness! Badge Number: Iron Constant-978,359!"

Just as his voice trailed off, a faint click was made a small brown door magically materialized in the brick wall.

The small figure pushed the brown door, and a dark passage appeared. Without hesitation, he walked into this dark passage, submerging into the darkness.

The next moment, the brown door was closed, and just like it appeared, it vanished, turning back into the old brick wall like it wasn't there at all.

Walking in the dark passage, the small figure wearing a black mantle saw the light a few meters ahead, and without hesitation, he removed the hood from it and then the white wooden mask, revealing an old gray beard face.

If those Senior Grandmaster alchemists were here, they would've instantly recognized this face because it was none other than Senior Grandmaster Potion Alchemist Otto!

It would appear after getting robbed by Jacob, Otto also didn't stay in the alchemy guild and appeared in this shoddy place for some reason.

Otto walked out of the dark passage and appeared in a spacious hall that was filled with tall bookshelves filled with books. It seemed like a library.

Furthermore, there was a huge hourglass filled with black sand hovering in the top center of this library, and the black sand was going upward instead of downward. Strangely, the sand in the lower half of this hourglass wasn't getting lesser, and neither the upper half seemed to get filled. The sand just vanished after it touched the top of the upper half.

Otto seemed to be unbothered by this strange phenomenon and directly walked toward the wooden counter of this library, where a green Goblette with a strange pattern under her right eye was looking at Otto impassively.

Otto stopped in front of the counter and said impassively, "I would like to change my Star ID as well as my current appearance."

The Goblette didn't even flinch at Otto's absurd demand and emotionlessly asked, "How many organizations are you part of, and what are your rankings in them?"

"I have two organizations' identities, the Killer Skull Society, ranking A-Skull, and the Alchemy Guild's Alchemy Potion Branch, ranking Senior Grandmaster," Otto replied without hesitation.

The Goblette was still emotionless as she asked again, "Do you want to get rid of your Brain Chip as well?"

"Yes."

"I would like to recommend the Bronze Class Erase. It will cost 1 million ZC." The Goblette impassively stated.

Otto didn't seem surprised by this absurd price since he knew this place was not a place where he could negotiate or raise his opinion on the price. Once the price was given, it was final and unchangeable.

So, he flipped his hand. A milky white diamond which was shining like a white star, appeared in his hand, and he placed it on the counter and asked, "Will this be sufficient?"

The Goblette didn't agree or deny, as she suddenly pressed her claw-like hand on the white diamond before it shimmered with dark haze, and then it returned to normal.

She then looked at Otto and said, "A Growth Type Light Magic Core 1-Star, price, 1.2 million ZC. It is sufficient, and the reaming 200,000 ZC will be transferred to your new Star ID bank account."

Otto shook his head as a hint of hatred flashed past his eyes as he said, "I want to use 100,000 ZC to buy a ticket to Epic Plains. And reaming 100,000 to issue an Iron Class Kill Order on someone!"

The Goblette nodded and impassively asked, "Star ID?"

Otto gritted his teeth as he said with naked killing intent in his eyes, "Faceless Ancient!"
