233 Finally it's time.

While the tournament started in the Neutral City, Ozul lazily walked out of the hotel with Jinx quietly following behind him.

He knew that the tournament would have started which meant that Emperor Luthien was already out of the Royal Palace. He only needed to infiltrate it and get his arm back now.

As he walked down the streets, he noticed that his appearance together with Jinx following him attracted a lot of eyes to him no matter where he went. So he increased his pace so as to not draw any more attention.

When he reached the Palace, he noticed there were more guards than usual. Before, there were only two guards at the main gate. But now, there were some roaming outside the wall as well.

'It's probably because of the absence of the Emperor...' Ozul decided that it was better to act when it was dark. Not only was the sun annoying, but the dark veil of the night would also help him to conceal himself.
