Chapter 163 - 162. The Wedding (Final Part)
"Can we knock him down?" Tyler asked in a hushed tone, his eyes narrowing as he watched the cloaked figure move through the room.
"Nope... He’s strong. We can’t take him out in one hit without alerting anyone," Lily replied, her eyes scanning the area for potential traps or alarms.
"Then let’s just leave after he’s gone," Tyler suggested, his voice calm but resolute.
The group remained perfectly still, their Phantom Masks keeping them concealed in the shadows as the cloaked man completed his inspection of the room. He muttered something under his breath, words too quiet for anyone to make out clearly. His presence lingered like a thick cloud of tension before he finally turned on his heel and left, reactivating the array behind him.

Moonlight filtered in through the stained glass ceiling, casting a delicate, multicolored glow across the polished marble floor. The hall was vast, its grandiosity evident in every carefully carved pillar and detailed mural that adorned the walls. The air was heavy with the scent of incense and freshly polished wood, giving the room an almost ethereal quality.
"So, this is the wedding hall," Tyler remarked quietly, his eyes sweeping the room.
"Oh! There’s a buffet area—" Mana started to say with excitement.
"Yup, just shut up," Tyler cut her off with a playful grin. "If you want, you can buy any food in this world and multiply it."
Mana pouted, her fingers tapping the edge of the copper pot hanging from his waist. "Eating the same food with the same taste multiple times or eating different types of food with different flavors... Obviously, Mana prefers the latter," she said, puffing her cheeks in protest.
Tyler chuckled under his breath. Even in such tense circumstances, Mana’s obsession with food somehow lightened the atmosphere.
