At that moment, Little Steel Falcon suddenly flew towards the window outside.
It seemed not to notice when it left, its wings colliding with the window, producing a "clang" sound.
Krell was drawn by the noise and turned his head, just in time to catch a glimpse of Little Steel Falcon’s silhouette.
This is... Krell furrowed his brows, about to chase after it but his eyes swept over the inside of the window, where he saw the black-haired, black-eyed girl.
By the time he came back to his senses, Little Steel Falcon had vanished without a trace.
Qiao Sang saw this scene and couldn’t help but think: Damn, did Little Steel Falcon do that on purpose, crashing into the window?
Having witnessed such a scheming nature from Little Steel Falcon, its actions now always seemed a bit more complicated than they appeared.
For example, the window was open so wide, so how did its wings happen to hit the window?
She hadn’t noticed at all when it slipped feathers into her pocket.
Could it be that it wanted to get someone’s attention who happened to be outside, so it deliberately made a noise?
"Miss Qiao? Miss Qiao?"
Krell’s voice pulled her back to reality.
Qiao Sang looked towards the man outside the window, gathered her thoughts, and asked, "What’s the matter?"
"Miss Qiao, I wanted to ask if a Little Steel Falcon was here just now?" Krell asked respectfully.
Case closed. Little Steel Falcon had indeed deliberately created a disturbance to catch this person’s attention, seeking to thwart Ashley’s efforts in vain. Krell was a key figure, but how could it be so sure that it could draw Krell’s attention... Qiao Sang’s thoughts drifted all at once.
Unless very familiar with a Pet Beast, most beasts of the same species should appear nearly identical to humans. Even if Little Steel Falcon had a brief encounter with Krell in District 27, Krell might not necessarily be able to recognize it as the Little Steel Falcon from District 27 at a glance...
That’s right! Wild Pet Beasts!
Krell was the butler; he must have also received the news of a wild Pet Beast intruding!
With so much surveillance here, he must have known the intruder was Little Steel Falcon!
Therefore, Little Steel Falcon was certain he would notice it, not because it thought he would recognize it, but because it knew it was now a wild Pet Beast being pursued... Qiao Sang realized suddenly.
"Miss Qiao?" Krell called out.
Qiao Sang snapped out of it and hummed in acknowledgment.
Krell asked respectfully, "Miss Qiao, did you see which direction the Little Steel Falcon went just now?"
Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then smiled slightly, "If I’m not mistaken, it should have gone to look for Ashley."
Meeting was fate, and she didn’t mind lending Little Steel Falcon a helping hand.
...
Ashley returned to her room in a cheerful mood.
But the next second, her expression soured.
Where was Little Steel Falcon?
Hadn’t they agreed that it would wait for her in the room?
At the same time, Little Steel Falcon observed the scene inside from a tree outside the window.
After staring for a minute, it flicked its ear, hearing the sound of a human male’s footsteps in leather shoes.
"Steel Steel!"
Little Steel Falcon instantly switched to a happy expression and flapped its wings, flying in from the window into the room.
"Where have you been?" Ashley turned her head. Seeing Little Steel Falcon, she immediately controlled her facial expression, feigning worry as she said, "Wild Pet Beasts aren’t allowed here, you’ll be caught if you wander off."
"Steel Steel."
Such a good actor, this human.
Little Steel Falcon showed an "I was wrong" expression.
"It’s good that you realize your mistake," Ashley said as she petted Little Steel Falcon’s head.
Although she couldn’t directly understand the meaning in a Pet Beast’s speech, she could guess from their body language and expressions. This was one of the reasons why she could communicate with wild Pet Beasts and pose as a Beast Tamer.
Suddenly, a knock on the door sounded.
Ashley was not flustered and whispered softly, "Hide for now."
"Steel Steel."
As if I’d listen to you.
Little Steel Falcon nodded and quickly hid behind the curtains.
Ashley opened the door, her expression one of surprise, "Mr. Krell?"
Krell stepped into the room with one foot, scanned the scene inside, then turned to look at Ashley expressionlessly and asked, "Do you know that a wild Little Steel Falcon broke in today?"
Ashley’s heart tightened, but she put on a worried face, "I know, I heard people mention it this evening. What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
