"Mark come here and examine this scene, I want to know who is behind this incident." The lady said in a serious voice while keeping an eye on her surroundings. Any being capable of creating such a scene wasn't to be trifled with.
"Yes! Commander Remson." A man with spectacles on his face respectfully said and got to work.
Mark walked near the punctured Black tiger and gently muttered, "Moon Solstice."
Following Mark's words, the surrounding light started to dim and move erratically creating a scene that was similar to when Dawn fought with the Black Tiger.
The scene continued to play. Under the watchful eyes of Commander Resmon, a black silhouette appeared in front of the Tiger and the next moment the monster was smashed into the ground.
As the scene progressed, the frown on Commander Resmon's face continued to grow deeper and deeper.
"Why isn't the face of this youth visible clearly?" Resmon questioned in a loud voice, she grew frustrated when the face of the culprit was not visible.
"He is either using a concealment technique or he is using treasure." Mark showed a forced smile on his face and said. He couldn't believe that his talent wasn't working properly.
Mark was an expert when it came to investigation. His talent "Eye of the Solstice" allowed him to recreate the scene that had occurred.
Commander Resmon nodded and didn't say anything more. After thinking about it for a moment she concluded, that whoever caused this scene was moving toward Destar City with unknown intentions.

"What is the purpose of coming to this city?" A man dressed in full body armor made of unknown material. Asked with a plain voice.
"Keep the answers short and precise." Dawn was reading the words hanging on the signboard beside the gate. When he heard the question.
Dawn glanced at the man who asked the question. He could easily tell that the man was in a Channel Construction Realm albeit only at rank 1.
"A guard at the Channel Construction Realm." Dawn thought and pointed at the bags on the soldier's backs and said, "Trade."
The man nodded and wasn't surprised. As every day, who knew how many people came to the city every day for the same thing?
"10 mana stones for every person.'' The man brought his hand forward and spoke in a bored voice. The man glanced at the long queue behind him and yawned.
"Robbery daylight robbery." Dawn thought in his head, 10 mana stones for a single person. However, he had no other option with a pained expression on his face. He handed 100 mana stones to the man.
The man took the mana stones and threw a card toward Dawn, who caught it without a problem.
"This is your identification document, don't lose it and don't forget to renew it next month."
Dawn didn't bother listening to his words; he was already gone along with his group.
"As if I would need to renew the card next month…hehe." Dawn thought while walking through the city.
There was one good thing about the card. The map of the entire city was printed on the back of the card.
Dawn followed the map and easily came to the North of the city where the trading center was situated.
After walking and navigating through the crowded city. Dawn finally reached his destination after 15 minutes.
To his surprise, Dawn had encountered 10 to 20 Cultivators at the channel Construction Realm.
When did these powerful experts become random Joe's on the streets?
It wasn't surprising, it was just that Dawn was ignorant as hell. He didn't even have any idea about the size of the Barren wasteland. Although, isolated from the rest of the continent. The barren wasteland had a population of billions of people. Who needed the resources for cultivation?
If Dawn knew about this information he would surely be surprised. How can a place be called a Barren Wasteland when it has a population of billions of people?
And the only place where they could find all the things that they needed was the Destar city. Where merchants from all over the Barren wasteland came regularly.
The trading center was a large open area with hundreds of large tents of various individual merchants and organizations.
A soldier once again stopped Dawn and his group from advancing further. However, not for long. Once Dawn showed him his identification document, his group was allowed to pass.
Hundreds of people were moving in and out of the various tents with different expressions on their faces. Some were able to find what they were looking for, while others had to return empty-handed.
Dawn and his group continued to move in search of an empty tent where they could set up their stall.
Finally, after some time they found what they were looking for.
A green-colored empty tent at the end, after paying the rent for the tent. They were allowed to set up their store.
"Harmon I am hungry, I need something to eat." Raven, who seemed to have recovered, cried from the side.
"Wait for some time," Harmon told her with a smile. Raven wasn't alone who was hungry, the soldiers were also tired and hungry after carrying the load on their back.
Dawn could hear their conversation but didn't say anything. If he wanted, he could have placed inside the Jewel of Emptiness, but he didn't do so as it would have led to doubts.
And Dawn was jealous from inside when he heard them talking about eating when he couldn't.
Ignoring their arguments, he entered inside the tent to see what it offered.
There was no gate or anything as such allowing anyone to enter inside. "Seems like one barbarian will have to guard this place." Dawn thought in amusement.
After half an hour, Dawn placed all the Apples of Vitality on the display stands and waited for the customers to arrive.
Of course, Dawn wasn't really here to act like a merchant but to examine the power of the Destar tribe as he had heard a lot about their powers from the merchants in the Ghost city.
