"Oh? You mean kidnapping to turn your people into slaves?" Rain asked while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Can you guys survive out of water for long?"
"You should know that!" The merman shouted again.
"I am not deaf, so don't bark in my ears," Rain said. "If I knew, I wouldn't be asking, retard."
The merman shared that his people had been dealing with kidnappings for many decades, and this was the reason for his attack on the port city. He explained that these incidents had occurred and his kind had to pass through this area.
Rain found this revelation quite puzzling. He couldn't recall any reports of slavery in the human country, so the idea of the sea folk being kidnapped for such a long time raised doubts. However, he couldn't completely dismiss the merman's claim, as it was a plausible scenario given the complexities of the world.
