The four girls wore flashy armor sets and accessories by the end of their shopping spree while Amon led their group with just a tiger skin covering his privates like a primitive hunter.

While he looked pretty pleased with himself, the girls behind weren't.

"Are you sure that this is a good idea? We just spent more than three millions on stuff that we're only going to use for a month or so." Mikayla frowned as she looked at Amon's back.

"Don't worry about the money. Thanks to Elena, we're not really strapped for coins but you shouldn't forget about the other currencies I have access to. I'm trying to invest with coins so I can get other ones." he said as he glanced at the notifications of mind coins.

Everyone around him stared at his group in either awe or jealousy. Even the headmasters weren't immune to his careless spending.

While they didn't mind spending money on things they could sell again at a higher price, they weren't so blind to money that they'd splurge on shiny armors.

"Did he really buy B rank equipment for everyone in his team?" a young looking headmaster asked while Cynthia, the sect's master nodded in response.

"He tricked people before…. he tricked my Marco at an auction and got the girl I wanted. He also got her for free. What's funny is that he's not even treating her as a slave."

Qingyan glanced at the two of them and then turned to look at the bearded guy and the other female headmaster before he looked away.

He had no intention of involving himself in their conversation.

He simply observed Amon from afar for a few minutes before he squinted his eyes slightly, 'Hm? I thought he didn't care about dumb things but he's really happy with the attention he's getting at the moment. In fact… he looks happier than when he received that three million.'

'I guess I can use this… attention hmm?' he thought as he slowly turned to look at the other headmasters and smiled at them, "I think I might have a genius idea."

Amon went back to his stall and lazed around until evening, the time when the first team that went out directly to hunt had come back with their loot.

"Ah it's Marco." Amon muttered as he glanced at the huge guy and his team of two more people.

Mona nodded as she too looked at them, "He's the strongest here if we talk about personal strength but his team isn't the best. The other two are only there to make things easy for him. A healer and a shaman."

"Is that a… monkey?" Nyx muttered as she squinted her eyes.

Elena looked at the monster hanging over Marco's shoulder and shook her head, "It has the head of one but it isn't. It's born as a plant which takes a few years to grow to it's full size and then, on a full moon night, it transforms. It's a magical process that doesn't make much sense but you could call it ascension."

"It goes from a mere F rank magical plant to a scary A+ rank monster." Amon said softly as he stared at it's body, "It's long hands allow it to throw things at a really fast speed, making it a deadly long range attacker. In fact, it has another evolution… six armed ape. S rank."

Saying that, he walked forward, "Let's go buy it."

Marco noticed the group before it even got close and his gaze landed on Elena almost instantly, making her shudder.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Amon said as he held her hand and squeezed gently, "I was weak back then but now it's a little different."

He walked closer and looked up at Marco who towered over him.

"I'd like to buy that corpse. What's the price?"

"How did you get that slave?" Marco asked as he pointed at Elena, which only made Amon smile.

One moment, he was smiling and the next, his feet were off the ground as he sent a spinning kick towards Marco.

Only, it got blocked before it even got to his target.

Amon frowned as he landed right, "Cynthia."

"Hello!" she exclaimed enthusiastically, "If you wish to fight, you'll have to request a duel. It's not a good idea to sneak attack people."

"A duel. You know, your dog disrespected my woman. I think it's justified to kill him based on your sect's rules. What do you think?" Amon asked as he took a step forward until he was right in front of Cynthia.

Her expression faltered for a moment before she gave him an amicable smile, "Well, you're not a part of my sect now, are you?"

"Does it matter? If you have your sect rules, I have my personal rules too. Since you said I'd have to duel him, will you be fine if he dies? Because I have this really strong urge to challenge him to a duel of death."

"Do we have to take it so far?" Cynthia asked with a frown on her face.

She didn't have to look back at Qingyan to know that he was ready to strike her at a moment's notice.

'If this kid was alone, I wouldn't have any problems in killing him but… alright, Marco is an SS rank awakened even if he's not smart. Once this kid is dead, I'll enslave Elena and use her to warm my bed and get her to provide my sect with pills. It's not a bad deal.'

She smiled and took a step back before shrugging, "Well, feel free to do what you wish. I just hope you won't regret it."

Amon shrugged too, imitating her actions as he too took a step back, "I will do what feels right. I've already humiliated your dog in front of hundreds of people. It's not going to be any different this time."

Marco's muscles rippled as he took a step forward, coming face to face with Amon.

"You tricked me back then. I know your real rank this time, D rank rat!"
