Before descending the stairs, I took a moment to complete a very important task….
Changing my watch.
The watch I currently had on me was rather cheap and didn't really look good on me.
After putting on an expensive piece of watch, I slipped out of my clothes, as most of it was stained red from my own blood.
By now, the blood had dried and a sharp metal stench was coming off from me.
So after stripping down, I washed up, paying particular attention to the eye I had stabbed, as blood patches were still visible around where the gaping wound had been.
After washing up, I put on a luxurious yet simple attire – a black silk shirt, matching trousers, and various golden jewelry pieces like chains and rings that complemented the earrings of the Phoenix's Embrace.
Only after I was satisfied with my graceful appearance did I step out of my room.
