Facing Vikram's feigned indifference, Sunil Kumar did not reply immediately. Instead, he suddenly sent a message that made Vikram pause.
[Sunil Kumar: Brother Vikram, does your Shelter have the strength to eliminate exquisite-grade creatures?]
"Huh?" Vikram was slightly surprised. He had thought his question might have annoyed Sunil Kumar, but this unexpected reply reignited his interest.
He quickly responded.
[Vikram: What do you mean by that, Brother Sunil? Has your Shelter encountered some trouble? If you need help, I can assist.]
After a brief pause, Sunil Kumar replied honestly.
[Sunil Kumar: I won't hide it from you. All the building materials I've been selling were dug from a structure near my Shelter.]
He then went on to explain everything in detail.
