Chapter 280
“Don’t underestimate me. I can do it, you know!”
“Don’t make me laugh, Cain. What are you going to catch, a whale?”
The man scoffed and ruffled Cain’s hair. Imposing with his bushy beard and thick arms, he was Cain’s father and the village’s top hunter.
At twelve years old, Cain was like most boys his age, trying to prove his worth through heroic feats.
“So what if I catch one?”
“Hmph… If you do, I’ll give you the golden dragon’s egg from the storage. It’s a shame, but it can’t be helped.”
“There are only dried fish and firewood in the storage! Do you think I’m a fool?!”
“Well, it sounds as absurd as a ten-year-old boy catching a whale. Ah, I’ll also give you a fairy I caught at sea recently. Hahaha!”
The man laughed heartily, his laughter echoing through the house. Cain, red-faced and fuming, spoke up.
