Madam Lin continued to visit Amon daily. Amon also continued to produce the poison that Hei Pho used to sell to Madam Lin monthly. With his increased understanding of poison, he could now discern the effect of this poison. This poison caused intense pain without endangering its victim's life.
Amon still wondered about the reason why Madam Lin ordered this poison regularly. He happened to find out about it today.
During Madam Lin's daily visit for a chat, Amon noticed that she was not in her best mood today. Pretending to be a concerned son, Amon asked for the reason. Amon was hoping that Madam Lin would just say that it was not something a kid like him should concern about, but instead, she told him the reason.
"I never told you my position and job in this clan," Madam Lin said. "I think it's time that you know. I'm in charge of the clan's prison and sometimes, extracting valuable information from particular prisoners."
