Early the next morning, while Kaelen was still half-asleep, he was woken up by the noise outside.
He rubbed his eyes and looked into the bamboo nest, seeing the three little ones still sleeping soundly. He gently picked up the nest and placed it into the crib, then walked outside with his eyes half-closed. He grabbed a Sub-Beast running past his gate and asked:
"What happened?"
The Sub-Beast frowned, speaking through slightly gritted teeth: "It's the Black Panther beastman that Aaron vouched for. I don't know what happened, but he got into a fight with some people from Squad 3 early this morning."
"This guy really doesn't know his place." Another beastman who happened to pass by chimed in upon hearing this: "If he hadn't been vouched for by Captain Aaron, he would still be outside the tribe working as a hired hand right now. Who gave him the guts to hit the beastmen in the tribe!"
Kaelen said sternly: "Evan is already a member of our tribe!"
