"You?"

The Chief Maid looked over suspiciously.

She did not express her approval before Xu Shu boldly strode past the group of Lantern Sisters and the hood-covered face of the Chief Maid, heading straight for the iron gate.

He didn’t hesitate to stretch out his hand, inserting it into the large gap in the gate and seizing the plump guard’s lower leg.

Its lower leg was as thick as a door panel with wrinkled skin, and the area showing through the torn trouser leg was covered with thick black hair.

"Um? Who is it? This child is just five years old, its flesh is the most tender, don’t bother me!" This monster spat human words, seemingly disturbed during its meal, speaking unclearly with a ferocious glance.

It was only upon getting closer that Xu Shu saw clearly: in its hand, the leg of the "unidentified animal" shockingly belonged to some unfortunate human child.

Ordinarily, just one glance from this monster’s eyes would be enough to frighten someone out of their wits.

However, Xu Shu only looked at it coldly, his gaze sweeping over it as if appraising a piece of pork on a chopping board.

This contemptuous gaze undoubtedly enraged it, and it put down a thigh it was holding, opened its massive maw, and roared thunderously, "Ignorant human! Do you really wish to die?"

The Chief Maid hurried to Xu Shu’s side and quickly said, "Sir, please don’t do this... Lord Spider, please do not be angry, this gentleman is a guest invited by the master."

The second half of her phrase was directed towards Lord Spider inside; from her pleading tone as she bowed towards the door, it seemed that "Lord Spider" held quite a high status in Storm Manor, although it was not clear why he was locked here to guard the door.

The Chief Maid clearly worried about a conflict between Xu Shu and Lord Spider, adopting an extremely submissive posture.

Lord Spider presumably found the Chief Maid’s attitude satisfactory; he snorted dismissively after looking at them haughtily.

"Any vermin can be a guest at the manor now. Truly, those external bitches should not be in charge! It’s a disgrace to the glory of the Althias Family, simply shameful!"

Lord Spider, while openly criticizing her master in front of the Chief Maid, reluctantly extended his corpulent claw toward the gate mechanism on the ground.

However, just then, Xu Shu suddenly pulled hard and, in an instant, dragged over this colossal chunk of flesh that evidently weighed more than four tons.

Clang!

With a loud crash, Lord Spider felt himself being pulled by an unimaginable strength, his whole face smashing into the iron gate almost to the point of deformation; several of his teeth broke, and the sturdy iron gate shook violently, shedding years of accumulated dust.

"Ow! Human, do you really wish to die?!"

The chains rattled loudly as Lord Spider spat out bloody saliva, bellowing loudly, his body contorting but finding himself apparently unable to break free from Xu Shu’s grip.

The Chief Maid’s gaze solidified.

After a moment of silence, she flickered her gaze and deeply looked at Xu Shu before whispering, "Sir, we must not offend him; Lord Spider is true nobility. He isn’t just an ordinary gatekeeper but was locked up here for punishment by the master after making several attacks on human settlements. Please... please..."

She did not understand how Xu Shu managed it, but he had firmly locked it down with just one arm.

Moreover, not only was Lord Spider unable to escape, but he was also injured and visibly his grabbed leg had been deformed by Xu Shu’s grip!

The mighty impression that Lord Spider usually left on them, combined with the current scene of him being subdued, made the Chief Maid take a deep breath, realizing she may have underestimated the master’s guest.

He was incredibly strong!

And much stronger than she had expected!

For a moment, the Chief Maid did not know what to say, struggling for a while before she said, "Please release him quickly."

"Heh."

Xu Shu’s lips curled slightly before he finally let go, his gaze sweeping over Lord Spider again.

What had it just said about the Althias Family? The "King of Infinity" Althias’s legacy?

Suji Herrera could employ Secret Technique to turn ordinary humans into containers for lobsters that are followers of "Tailed Ksitigarbha," so it seems she has some eerie connection with ’Infinite Tailed Master’ and not with Ksitigarbha...

And nobility, what nobility? It feels as if there’s a palace intrigue drama within Storm Manor. Unfortunately, I can’t ask in detail to satisfy my curiosity...

In a flash, a myriad of thoughts crossed Xu Shu’s mind.

As Lord Spider gasped for breath heavily, he resented but was also palpably relieved as he looked at Xu Shu; his bloody mouth moving a few times, but ultimately he said nothing and began forcefully moving the lever to open the city gate.

Clearly, after the recent confrontation, he had fully realized the significant difference in strength between himself and this human!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Amid the daunting sound of the iron chains turning, the heavy iron gate gradually lifted off the ground.

The Chief Maid first said to Xu Shu, "Thank you, sir," and then she breathed a sigh of relief; she had been genuinely afraid something bad was going to happen, and it would have been difficult to explain.

However, his inexplicable handling of Lord Spider, and his constant stare at his fingers... Might it be...

She clenched her hand tightly, stealing glances at Xu Shu’s profile, her eyes flickering uncertainly. Seeing him look over, their gaze met, and she quickly lowered her head, letting the rim of her hood block Xu Shu’s sight, unwilling to meet his gaze directly.
