"Keh-heh-heh-heh… I knew you liked venomous creatures, but this is just so you."

Geolhwang burst into laughter, while Xintu, who had initially looked puzzled, suddenly widened his eyes in realization.

He turned to me and shouted,

"Wait, you’re asking for the Heavenly Silkworm eggs!?"

Xintu stared at me in complete disbelief.

Since he was demanding confirmation, I made sure to nod clearly and responded,

"Yes, Elder. All three of them. The name sounds impressive too—Heavenly Silkworm, huh? Heavenly Silkworm… what a fitting name."

A silkworm bestowed from the heavens… Considering how it’s basically fallen right into my lap, the name couldn’t be more appropriate.

At my response, Xintu turned to Geolhwang with a dumbfounded look, as if pleading for help.

But upon seeing that face, Geolhwang completely lost it, clutching his stomach and rolling on the ground in hysterics.@@novelbin@@

One of the most revered elders of the martial world, utterly disregarding dignity.

Then again, he was a beggar, so maybe that was part of his charm.

"Keh-heh-heh… Look at that face. The greatest thief in the Central Plains getting robbed like a roadside bandit! Keh-heh-heh…"

The term "bandit" meant highway robber in the Central Plains.

In other words, Geolhwang was saying that I was outright robbing Xintu at this moment.

Like some kind of… mugger.

"Hey now, that’s uncalled for. I’m not a common bandit—I’m rescuing venomous creatures! A full-fledged humanitarian effort!"

I had already heard that several of the larvae had died from malnutrition.

If the owner couldn’t even feed them, he wasn’t qualified to keep them.

That wasn’t just neglect—it was outright abuse.

"An owner who can’t even feed his pets properly has failed his responsibility, so it’s only right that they be confiscated."

With eager anticipation of what kind of larvae I’d get, I stared at Xintu expectantly.

At that moment, my grandfather’s voice rang in my head through transmitted sound.

[To think I’d ever see that old man make such a face… Well done, So-ryong! Take everything from him! Hahaha!]
