Zachary was dealing with his injury when he suddenly heard an eagle screeching in the sky. A dark shadow zipped past the balcony and kept flying upward.
Ben hurried over to check things out. He saw Lupine on the balcony on the other side. She was shouting nervously into the sky, “Fifi, get back here!”
Unfortunately, the eagle didn't even bother listening. It simply flew ahead.
“Shoot!” said Lupine before she returned to the room to report, “Fifi flew away and won't fly back for anyone, Ms. Lindberg.”
“Go look for it, you idiot,” growled Charlotte angrily.
“Understood,” replied Lupine before she took a few subordinates to go chase after the eagle.
Ben finished watching the show from the balcony before he returned to the room to report the situation. He later asked curiously, “Mr. Nacht, could it be that you scared the eagle away?”
“I wasn't that aggressive with it,” replied Zachary calmly, “If I was, its neck would've already been broken.”
“That's true...” murmured Ben while nodding. “Still, that eagle really is something else. It actually managed to injure you.”
“It hasn't been fully tamed yet, so it is extremely sensitive toward others,” commented Zachary, who had finished dressing his injury and pulled his sleeve down. He added, “If it were anyone else, it's likely that something terrible would've happened.”
“That's true. I'm so glad that you were quick. If you weren't, the consequences would've been grave,” said Ben.
He could still feel the fear in his heart when he recalled what happened.
“Mr. Nacht, everyone went out to look for that eagle, and that includes Ms. Windt... Ah, no, I mean, Ms. Lindberg., reported Marino
“Let them...”
Ben hadn't even finished his sentence when Zachary got up and rushed to the balcony.
Charlotte had changed into a more casual outfit and had a bodyguard with her. She was about to get in the car when Zachary called out from the balcony on the second floor.
“Hey!”
Charlotte instinctively turned around and demanded, “What?”
“Are you going to look for that eagle?” asked Zachary as he leaned on the railing in a relaxed stance. “Be careful not to let it hurt you.”
“Why would it hurt me? It's my pet,” replied Charlotte before she glared evilly at Zachary and complained, “And it wouldn't have flown away if you hadn't scared it!”
After saying her piece, Charlotte got into her car and left immediately.
