Su Xiao and the Wolf steward stared at each other. In the past, the Wolf steward wouldn't have feared Su Xiao; instead, he'd often seek any opportunity to eliminate Su Xiao.
But now, Su Xiao's gaze brimmed with the intent to dismantle the Wolf steward and study his construct, inducing a primal fear in the Wolf steward—an inevitability for all Alchemical Creatures, regardless of their strength.
"Intriguing."
Su Xiao retracted that gaze, and the Wolf steward's tense body relaxed.
"Still not planning to take me to the treasure house? Since you're Alice's Alchemical Creature, my reward for this time..."
Su Xiao's meaning was clear.
"Relax, I won't make you my subordinate. I'll just dismantle you and use your parts to create other Alchemical Creatures."
Su Xiao's words sent a chill down the Wolf steward's heart; after all, to a certain extent, he was Alice's property.
"Follow me."
