Chapter 112 - 109- The Beauty of Aether Energy
In Pearl City, a youth that looked like a child beggar was roaming the streets. He looked to be around fourteen or fifteen and had messy hair along with a noticeable scar on the bottom right of his lip.
Overall, the youth looked completely haggard. However, if one had keen eyes, one would be able to notice that his fingernails had not a spec of dirt underneath them.
One would also realize the dirt marks on his clothes resembled fingers, as if he had taken a hand full of dirt and wiped it on himself.
These small details, if noticed by someone, would shatter the persona this youth had carefully crafted. Though who would be so attentive when looking at a child beggar? As he walked through the streets, people would either look at him with pity or disgust before avoiding him.
Soon, the youth approached a street vendor’s stand. He quickly walked up to it and swiped away a candy.
"Hey, you damn brat! What do you think you’re doing?!"
The old vendor bellowed at the youth who turned on his heels and ran off.
The vendor was too old to chase after him, but even if he could the boy had weaved through the crowd expertly and quickly disappeared from sight.
Far away from the stand, the boy walked out of an alleyway while eating the candy he stole.
The candy was four bright red sweats on a stick; it was a really popular in this City.
While snacking on his stolen goods, the youth suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked up.
