Chapter 808: Give And Take

"My Great Ratholos Empire has hunted and eaten these sea monsters for centuries. I can assure you that they are quite safe to eat, Empress Astoria. Moreover, they provide plenty of health benefits as well," Emperor Varan replied before adding, "But of course, we do make adequate preparations to ensure that stays the case."

"I, myself, have dissected countless sea monsters during my active hunting days, so I'm quite knowledgeable about sea monsters. You see, these sea monsters, regardless of their species, all have a special organ for storing all the toxins in their bodies."

"As long as this toxin-storing organ is carefully removed without spillage, the sea monster's inner layer of meat will be safe to consume as is. The outer meat, on the other hand, requires a strict cleansing and cooking process before it reaches our safe standards for consumption."
