Gaude was dead just like that.
The gash that lay open in his abdomen was like an animal had gnawed at him, his innards gone without a trace, and just a little thought on it would send shivers down the spine.
Blood and flesh were splattered everywhere—on the bedside cabinet, the table, the chairs, the walls, and the ceiling.
Lu Ban heard the knocking and calls from behind him, readying himself to open the door.
But suddenly, Lu Ban noticed fresh blood on the doorknob and even the bolt was smeared with streaks of blood.
It was as if someone had scooped out Gaude's insides with their bare hands and then left with dirty hands after turning the doorknob.
He allowed his right hand to melt and unlocked the door.
Stone pushed the door open and entered.
Upon seeing the state of Gaude, he was taken aback.
Immediately, Stone glanced around the room, turned back into the corridor, and called for the servants.
