Chapter 124 Mask Of The Unknown
Soon after, Nathan arrived at the location told by the unfortunate man from before.
Stopping the car from a distance, Nathan observes the place.
"Is this it?"
Nathan wondered as he stared at the establishment 10 meters away from where parked his car.
It is an expensive looking small casino.
From time to time, people dressed expensively go in and out of the casino while two thugs dressed neatly are standing guard at the entrance.
Watching for a while, Nathan used the appraisal a few times and was now certain that the man from before really told him the truth.
While sitting in the car, Nathan thought of how he would have to proceed with his plan.
Since this time Nathan plans to destroy the Black Bear Gang fully, he is going to kill every member that he sees from this point on.
Although that man from before might not think the same, but truthfully, he was really lucky to be able to get out alive.
As he was looking at the people that kept on coming in, Nathan started to frown.
"If I go in like this, my identity would be exposed to the public and some officials might even cause some trouble for me."
Thinking of that, Nathan concluded that having his car near the crime scene would be stupid.
Because of that, Nathan drove back to the city center and parked his car in a grocery parking lot.
"Now, I should look for something that I can use to hide my identity."
Nathan called the system and opened the system shop.
Scrolling for a while, soon he found something to hide his identity.
[Mask of the Unknown]
[Details: A mask made by a Props Maker as a toy for his son.
Effects: Shifts the attention of the people away from you, as well as giving you an invisible protective cloak which will hide your identity to everyone. It will only disappear once you take off the mask.]
[Price: 50 Gold Points]
….
"Hmm, this will be a big help for times when I have to do things secretly."
He looked at the price and was a little surprised, "Oh? It\'s quite cheap, huh. For an item like this to be sold cheaply, it doesn\'t have any defect… right?"
Looking at it for a long time, Nathan hesitates whether he should buy it or not.
But in the end, he still decided to buy it since it will be quite useful and also because it was the only one that he can afford right now.
"I\'ll just buy it, I just hope it won\'t have any bad effects."
Clicking the buy button, a notification of successful purchase appeared on his sight which he also dismissed without looking at it.
"Now, let\'s take a look at this mask."
The mask of the unknown appeared in Nathan\'s hand.
It was a mask that could cover his whole face, surely hiding his identity.
The mask looks like the starry sky up above with many lights filling it up. It was as if the whole universe was put into a mask.
"Hmm, it looks quite good. The design is also very fascinating." He said as he inspected it.
Before he uses it for real, Nathan first wants to try out the effectiveness of the mask to make sure that nothing bad will happen.
Then his eyes lit up as he thought of something,
"I should go and test it out in the cafe."
Without delay, Nathan wore the mask and stepped out of the car, leaving it in the parking lot.
Walking unhurriedly to the cafe, Nathan noticed that people didn\'t seem to pay attention to him even though they would usually turn their heads to look at people wearing weird things such as the mask he is wearing now.
A smile crept up Nathan\'s face immediately, he said, "It looks like the effect of the mask to shift the other people\'s attention away is working really well."
Because of that, a smile was on Nathan\'s face the whole time he was heading to the cafe.
Not long after, he entered the cafe and saw that Joseph was there, standing at the counter, seemingly inspecting the work of every employee.
He did not greet him or anything, but walked and sat beside him.
Because of that, Joseph turned his head to look at him but as if by some unknown force, he also immediately turned away, not really getting a good look at Nathan.
He tried it a few more times and stopped after the 3rd time.
"With this, now I\'m certain. Even if I meet people that know me, they will not be able to recognize me."
After that, Nathan did not linger in the cafe any longer.
He left the cafe unhurriedly but did not go back to where he parked his car.
Since he doesn\'t want his identity to be known by other people, of course he would leave things that might help others track him down.
Plus, now he doesn\'t have to worry about being noticed by the people if he runs at a very fast speed since they will not pay attention to him anyway.
That just means that he will be able to go from place to place faster since he doesn\'t have to use a car anymore.
And like that, Nathan started speeding up as he walked on the sidewalk, slowly increasing his speed, until he was as fast as a car.
In just a minute, Nathan arrived at the casino once again.
Standing outside of it, he took a deep breath and stepped forward, planning to enter inside.
But for unknown reasons, the two thugs guarding outside stopped him from entering.
""Stop!""
Since he was here to wreck the place to begin with, Nathan did not bother to listen to them and continue walking.
Seeing that he was not listening, it seems like one of the thugs did not like that.
He yelled, "I said stop, are you stupid!?"
Nathan stopped moving.
