Chapter 40: Ants_1

"Grandma, I mean no harm," you said sternly.

The old woman smiled slightly and said, "I know, otherwise I wouldn't be so polite. Young man, I still feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

You scratched your head, a bit helplessly replying, "If you think I look familiar, so be it. If I have time later, I'll definitely come to chat with you, but right now I really have something very important to do. Could you please not hinder me?"
