Chapter 572: Chapter 520: Need Help?

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?"

"Have you seen it?" Krell continued to ask.

"No," Ashley shook her head.

Krell asked in a cold tone, "What did Miss Qiao want with you today?"

Something wasn’t right. Normally, Krell didn’t act like this. Had Miss Qiao said something to Krell? But that shouldn’t be the case; if she had said something, why would she have sent Krell away... Ashley was about to speak up.

Suddenly, the curtains by the wall lifted in a high arc as if blown by a gust of wind.

Krell turned his head and saw Little Steel Falcon, the one everybody had been searching for that night.

"Steel Steel..."

Little Steel Falcon looked bewildered.

Ashley’s expression changed slightly.

Originally, her plan had been to secure Little Steel Falcon first, then hand it over once the police arrived, earning both the reward and a good reputation within the manor.

But now, before the police had arrived, Krell had discovered Little Steel Falcon, throwing her original plan into disarray.

If Krell caught Little Steel Falcon, by the time the police arrived, the 200,000 reward might not be hers, as she would merely be providing information.

Moreover, she had just denied seeing Little Steel Falcon, and the police would definitely contact her first upon their arrival, which would expose her lie in front of Krell.

Damn, why did Krell have to come to see her at this moment!

No, she had to find a way to let Little Steel Falcon escape from Krell’s grasp. Even if it couldn’t escape, she couldn’t let Krell see that she was acquainted with Little Steel Falcon... Ashley made up her mind, and was about to feign surprise when she was interrupted.

"Steel Steel..."

Just then, Little Steel Falcon flew over and hid behind Ashley, clinging to her leg with its wings, poking its head out in a dependent gesture.

Anyone would think there was a connection between them.

Ashley: "!!!"

"Ashley!" Krell’s eyes were ablaze.

In that moment, he completely believed what Miss Qiao had said.

"Mr. Krell, I don’t know why Little Steel Falcon would be in my room," Ashley’s face changed color, "You know, I’ve always been favored by wild Pet Beasts."

She was confident that Krell didn’t have the patience to listen to wild Pet Beasts speak, let alone summon a Pet Beast translator.

Compared to wild Pet Beasts, Krell was surely more likely to believe her, she had that confidence.

A shrill ringtone suddenly interrupted.

No way, such bad luck... Ashley cursed inwardly, "fuck."

"Aren’t you going to answer?" Krell asked icily.

"It’s a stranger’s call," Ashley glanced at the phone screen, trying to pick it up and turn it off.

Krell was quicker, snatching the phone from the table to answer and activating the speakerphone.

A young man’s voice came through from the other end,

"Hello? Is this Miss Ashley? We are the police who received your emergency call. We have arrived. Is Little Steel Falcon still with you? We are at the entrance of Sfevour Manor, can you bring it out directly?"

This is it... Ashley felt a chill in her heart.

Krell might not know the origin of Little Steel Falcon, but the police certainly knew it came from District 27. Little Steel Falcon had just shown such affection for her, and if the police communicated with them, what kinds of connections might Krell infer...

"Steel Steel..."

Even a slightly intelligent human would make the connection now.

As Ashley’s heart sank, Little Steel Falcon looked wounded, flapping its wings and heading for the window.

Ashley paused for a moment, then felt a surge of relief.

In her view, the situation was too bad, but if Little Steel Falcon didn’t fall into Krell’s hands and managed to escape, it wouldn’t be too terrible.

Little Steel Falcon had struggled so much to come here from District 27; it must really like her and would definitely come back to find her later.

Even if she got kicked out by Krell for lying, with Little Steel Falcon, the 200,000 was still within reach, sooner or later.

Krell snorted coldly, "Trying to escape?"

He immediately put down the phone, ready to make a Beast Taming sign.

"Mr. Krell!" Ashley placed her hand on his as he made the sign.

Krell had no choice but to stop his Beast Taming gesture.

"About that call just now, I can explain," Ashley continued.

Krell looked at Ashley with a mocking glance, shrugged off her hand, and continued with his signs.

...

Little Steel Falcon flapped its wings towards an unmonitored direction.

Suddenly, it spotted a familiar figure under the eaves.

"Need help?" Qiao Sang looked up with a smile.
