Chapter 32 Hangover 3 (1/2)

The elevator that lead to the Underworld Facilities was made of some kind of reinforced glass.

From there, John was able to see the scenario in front of him pretty clearly.

The Underworld was extremely big. It was at least thrice as big as the Shopping Complex. Even though a lot of places were empty, the center of the Underworld was crowded with buildings.

The elevator slowly descended for about 2 minutes.

Once the door opened, some people rushed in before John could even realized what happened. He squeezed through the crowd and was able to exit the elevator.

The moment he left the elevator he saw the narrow roads illuminated by the dim light coming from street lights at the side.

People from all the 7 races and Penguins walked back and forth.

The majority of the people there emitted killing intent, and some were strong enough that the pedestrians open up the passage for these guys to pass through.

John looked around and realized that the building were all made of different materials, but they were glued together, in the two sides of the street, forming the long and narrow road.

The was Japanese, Chinese, modern, Victorian age, types of building.

Looking up, John was able to see some Hovercars drifting through the closed 'sky'.

It was a lot more boisterous than the Shopping Complex.

John looked around and saw that there was guards that were that black colored armor from the entrance securities, all around the place. On the building's ceilings, the dark alleys, and even some Hovercars in the air.

John walked forward and from time to time he would be able to sense that there was a lot of people curiously glancing at him.

The was no evil intent, so John just let it be.

John walked until he saw a bar that was extremely boisterous, with loud laughs and shouts coming from it.

He looked at the sign and saw that the bar was called Beakeasy Saloon.

He entered the bar and soon spotted a yellow beacon that was on a table playing some kind of card game.

John approached and when he saw the Omega 'Brand' on the yellow Novakid, he realized that he was correct. It was indeed Lenny.

He silently walked forward and curiously looked over to what kind of game would make Lenny so concentrated.

Lenny was playing poker against two Penguins and a Human.

The banker was also a Penguin, but he was wearing some expensive tuxedo different from Lenny and the other that wearing some kind of armor or nothing at all, like the penguins.

Penguins usually don't wear clothes. They mostly use only armors, when is necessary.

John never played gambling games before, so he started to focus on the game.

He easily blended into the crowd and started to closely watch the game.

After the round was over, the banker took the cards. Lenny had just lost 1k of pixels in that round to the Penguin that was wearing some kind of red wig.

John's eyes shifted toward the banker that had started to shuffle the cards.

As his concentration was getting deeper he suddenly felt like world was slowing down, [This sensation... Again?]

He looked at the banker's hands, or 'wings'. He wasn't able to see before because the banker shuffled very quickly and skillfully, but now that the world slowed down he was able to see clearly all the movements of the banker.
