The staring contest between Richard and Amden continued for few moments, and no one was willing to back down. The tension in the air continued to rise high and a feeling of intense suffocation spread in the room.
Richard narrowed his eyes and he was getting slightly irritated that a 'mere brat' was directly confronting him and was completely ignoring the power and authority he held.
Without any further hesitation, he let loose his cultivation and forced it on Amden. Amden merely raised an eyebrow and continued to stare. Richard's irritation rose, and he forced more of his spiritual energy against Amden, but the Vantistart heir didn't even flinch.
At this moment Alexa, the weakest in the room, turned uncomfortable facing the pressure, though it was not directed at her. She wanted to shout at both of them to stop but dared not speak in such a high intense atmosphere.
After keeping his pressure up for a few more moments, Richard finally withdrew it.
