Chapter 993

The man did not reply and merely looked outside the villa with a blank expression.

I glanced at him and said with a smile, "I tried it once when | was very young. It was with a friend of mine who

later passed away. She was a very brave person who dared to eat anything. Once after we caught the

dragonflies, she said that her classmates told her that dragonflies tasted especially good after roasting. She

wanted to give it a try, so she showed off her cooking skills to me."

| continued after a pause, "At first, | refused to eat it, but when | saw how much she enjoyed eating it and how

she kept tempting me, | took a bite out of curiosity. It was only then did | know that she wasn’t lying. It was

actually very good."

Seeing the man's pupils sink as though he was reminiscing something after hearing what I said, | took the

opportunity to say, "Can | go out and catch the dragonflies? If you're worried that I'll run, then you can catch

them with me."

The man was a little hesitant. | pursed my lips and continued, "Please don't think too much. I just suddenly want

to eat roasted dragonflies. Besides, I'm not familiar with this place. With you by my side, how

could | possibly escape?”

After hearing what | said, the man thought about it and agreed.

| smiled. "Thank you."

Later, | asked him his nand he toldthat his nwas Stephan.

After going outside with Stephan, he offered to make a handheldforto catch the dragonflies.

| thanked him, took the handheld net, and started catching dragonflies.

After a few minutes, | saw Stephan holding another handheld net. He started catching dragonflies with me. |

could not help but smile. "You want to eat them too?"

He merely nodded. | did not say anything else and continued to catch dragonflies with him.

Soon, the two of us caught a bunch of dragonflies. Seeing that there was almost enough for us, we returned to

the villa.

As | carried the basket into the kitchen, the smile on m y face gradually disappeared.

I had never eaten insects like this, but | heard that the locals here did. Seeing Stephan's reaction now, | was

starting to believe that it was true.

Going off the top of my head, I finished roasting these dragonflies in no time.

Stephan entered the kitchen after the aroma wafted out. He said in a surprised tone, "You seem like a good

cook."

I smiled. "I did it once when | was young. | can’t believe that I'm still able to do it so well after so many years."

After handing a plate to him, | said with a smile, "Try i t."

Stephan smiled for the first time. "Sure."

He grabbed a spoonful and popped them into his mouth. After swallowing them, he commented, "Very good."

Due to the living environment, the locals here ate insects like dragonflies, though it was a little hard for

northerners liketo accept the delicacy.

Stephan looked atand asked, "Don’t you want some?"

| swallowed my saliva and grabbed a spoonful to put them in my mouth. Ignoring the fact that these were

dragonflies, treating it as an ordinary dish actually made it quite enjoyable.

| put down my cutleries and said a little regretfully, "It would be great if there was a bottle of beer."

Stephan smiled and took the initiative to grab a beer.

The beer alone would not work. It must be paired with the drug Shannon gave me.

Stephan was a simple-minded man. After eating the food | made and drinking beer, he had already let his guard

down considerably.

When he grew light-headed from the drinking, he slumped on the table straight away.

| got up to his side and said tentatively, "Lettake you upstairs."

He did not reply and seemed tremendously wasted.

For a person like me, moving someone of his size was extremely strenuous for me. Fortunately, Franky was not

around, and the servants were outside cleaning the yard. | was able to move him slowly.

After moving him to the high-tech door, | asked him, "I s this your room, Mr. Stephan?"
