"Show us your pass!"
"Here you go!"
The burly man took the pass and inspected it with a magical treasure he carried. His eyebrows rose slightly. He knew this was someone from the Lower Realm, but not the person he was looking for.
So, while examining the pass, he asked, "Have you seen any suspicious people around recently?"
The plain-clothed youth nodded. "Yes, I have."
"Where?"
"You're looking at one," the youth said, pointing at the man. "Aren't you suspicious?"
The fierce-looking man was stunned for a moment.
"I'm just here, trying to eat in peace, and you come up asking all sorts of questions. If you're not suspicious, who is?"
Choked by the retort, the burly man's eyes glinted with rage. "Are you looking for trouble?"
An aura surged around him as he took a step forward, ready to strike.
Suddenly, a slender, white-jade-like hand reached out and stopped him.
The crowd parted.
