Bab 277: The Black Market [1]

Adrian woke up early in the morning as he planned. Since he had already prepared everything the night before, he quickly gathered his things and left the academy, moving with a quiet determination.

Hailing a carriage at the entrance, Adrian gave the driver a specific set of instructions. "Take me to the other side of the city, in the opposite direction of the gates, and stop in front of the auction house."

The driver nodded and snapped the reins, setting the carriage in motion. Adrian leaned back against the seat, his thoughts focused on the task ahead. The auction house was a well-known landmark, bustling with activity at all hours, making it the perfect place to slip away unnoticed.
