Chapter 99. First Underling

The elder who was checking Amon's space ring frowned after his checking. He glanced at Amon, who was standing beside him, naked, with folded arms. Amon was staring back at him. Their eyes lingered for a while. Perhaps he thought the boy would look away after being intimidated by his stare, but Amon did not. Amon maintained his gaze without any expression.

"Are you done checking?" Amon asked when the elder continued staring at him.

"Hmph!" The elder simply harrumphed and returned to his checking. He seemed to check for a long time. He frowned, glanced at Amon, then returned to check again. The other youths who were paying attention felt the elder was acting weird. He didn't take that long when checking theirs.

After a while, the elder put down Amon's space ring. He then held Amon's black space ring. His frown went deeper this time. He twirled the ring a few times.

"That is just a normal ring," Pai Kuan said to the elder. He had come to the checking table.
