I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 545 - 511 The Furious Earl

Earl’s breath quickened, the bulging veins on his face revealing his inner rage.

The entire restaurant’s atmosphere was engulfed by this fury, so oppressive it made it hard to breathe.

It was over...

It looked like a confrontation was inevitable.

However, the Earl had not yet made a move because he was unsure of Jiang Xiao’s true power.

"Strike first to gain the upper hand, capture the king to catch the thief!"

Shi Shi chanted silently in her mind; she knew that by controlling the young Earl, they had a chance to turn the tables.

Suddenly, Shi Shi gave a light shout and leapt forward like a cheetah, vaulting over the dining table and appearing instantly in front of the young Earl.

Her arm moved like lightning to grab a Western table knife from the table, its tip glinting coldly, and she placed it directly on the young Earl’s throat.

"Let’s see who dares to move!"

Shi Shi’s voice was icy, her eyes determined; her swift and decisive action stunned everyone present.

The Earl was stunned; he had not expected this seemingly inconspicuous girl to be so bold and resolute.

"Release my son!"

The Earl’s voice was not particularly angry but eerily calm.

"Heh heh~"

Shi Shi sneered, how could she possibly give up the hostage now?

"Let us leave, and I will release your useless son eventually."

Oh?

The Earl raised an eyebrow.

"Do you know each other?"

"No comment. Now, either you let us go, and we will release your son once we are safe, or I kill your son and then have a final battle to the death with you and your wife. The choice is yours!"

"Haha." The Earl laughed in spite of himself, unable to hold back any longer, "Very well, very well, I never imagined that one day I would be threatened by a cunning spirit and a human?"

Fuck!

Realizing the Earl seemed to have let his guard down, Jiang Xiao quickly spoke up to urge restraint.

"He is your only son, Young Earl! Calm down, you need to stay calm!"

"Young Earl? Ha, kill him or mutilate him, as you wish!"

The old Earl slowly rose to his feet, exuding an icy aura.

Before everyone’s eyes, his originally silver pupils slowly turned blood red, like two unfathomably deep pools of blood, filled with danger and mystery.

Even his black cloak began to undergo a strange transformation.

Gradually, its color deepened until it finally turned a crimson red, as if stained by fresh blood, making it especially terrifying.

The Earl’s transformation dramatically tensed the atmosphere in the restaurant.

The Countess also rose elegantly to her feet, her expression shifting from calm to an unfathomable and bizarre look.

Her eyes, too, turned blood red, complementing the Earl’s.

In this moment, the couple’s auras merged completely, exuding an intimidating, inviolable pressure.

Shi Shi now felt an unprecedented pressure; she could sense the power within the Earl and his wife swiftly growing, irresistible...

Even Jiang Xiao furrowed his brow.

This was indeed a tough situation, and there were two of them.

Was it Jiang Xiao’s imagination, or could he feel an indescribable oppression emanating from the Earl?

It was like...

Just like Kun Kun facing a weasel, a sheep facing a wolf, a mouse facing a cat.

It was a fear ingrained in their bones and genes.

The two slowly closed in on Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi, their steps light yet as grave as the footsteps of a judge, each one heavily striking the hearts of everyone present.

The warmth that had initially been in the Earl’s eyes was gone, replaced only by coldness and a murderous intent.

The Earl’s voice was deep and forceful, and each word seemed to be spat out from the abyss, full of undeniable commands.

"Let him go."

Shi Shi’s arm tensed; she knew that if she recoiled now, she and her father would stand no chance.

Her gaze grew more determined, the tip of the dinner knife gently sliding over Young Earl’s neck—merely grazing the skin but enough to let one feel the threat of death.

The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

"Little savage, won’t you let go? Don’t forget, it was he who picked you up from the forest."

Seeing Shi Shi too stubborn, the Countess turned to play the emotion card.

"Did I ask him to pick me up?"

"Hey? You ungrateful little thing, have you forgotten who has been providing for your meals and drinks these past few months? Even the little dress you’re wearing was custom-made."

"Before, I ate the meat of wild beasts and drank dew, wearing little animal-skin dresses, which were much finer than what I wear now!"

Shi Shi stood her ground, stubbornly refusing to let go.

For Jiang Xiao, it was neither wise to hit nor to not hit.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed his side was in the wrong.

"Haha, I should have given the poison to little Giuseppe earlier, had him take you out; then none of this would be happening."

"Poison? What poison?"

"Yes, a poison that would turn you into an obedient little dog. I had planned to mix it into tonight’s supper, but who would’ve thought that you, this little savage, would dare to rebel."

Hmm?

Shi Shi couldn’t believe it as she looked at the effeminate-looking Young Earl.

"No way, him? With his wimpy appearance, not yet fully grown, does he have the guts to poison me?"

Young Earl’s face flushed red with anger from Shi Shi’s words.

Keep in mind, according to stature, Shi Shi was still several years younger than him!

Yet now, she was mocking his incomplete acne-riddled face.

Young Earl couldn’t tolerate such defamation and immediately raised his voice in rebuttal.

"You’re farting! I had the poison ready, and tonight I planned to take care of you, afterwards training you like a dog! You really think I love you? Your lowly lineage doesn’t even qualify you to be our servant!"

"You think you’re something special because you have some looks? I was only interested in your little lolita figure! When you’re here, I call you ’little Shi Shi,’ and when you’re not, we all call you ’little savage’, you know? What right do you have to mock me, a Young Earl with noble lineage?"

My god?

Not only did these words stun Shi Shi on the spot; even Jiang Xiao was taken aback, then he laughed.

Jiang Xiao’s mocking smile clearly irritated the Countess.

"What are you laughing at! Commoner, if it wasn’t for not seeing through your depth, why would someone like you even have the privilege to meet us? At most, you’d only enter our stomachs as a meal."

Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi’s abstract manipulation truly infuriated the Earl’s family.

In no time at all, they spilled all their true thoughts.

"Heh heh, commoner? So what? A commoner’s hands can easily squeeze the life out of you, a Young Earl of noble lineage."

Shi Shi’s words were cold, the sharp knife on Young Earl’s neck even colder.

Just then, the silent Earl finally spoke to Young Earl.

"Be a man; don’t let a lowly little girl have you in the palm of her hand. Show some spirit."
