Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 523: Do you need help?
At this moment, Little Steel Falcon suddenly flew towards the window.
It seemed not to notice when it went out, its wing colliding with the window with a “clang” sound.
Claire was drawn by the noise, turned his head, and happened to see Little Steel Falcon.
This is… Claire frowned tightly, just about to chase after it, but his gaze swept inside the window and he saw the black-haired, black-eyed young girl within.
By the time he recovered, Little Steel Falcon was already gone.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but have a thought flash through her mind: Holy crap, this Little Steel Falcon didn’t intentionally hit the window, did it?
There was no other way; after witnessing Little Steel Falcon’s dark personality, some of its actions now seemed not so simple.
For example, the window was open so wide just now, so how could its wing have collided with it?
She hadn’t noticed at all when it put the feather in her pocket.
Was it because it saw that person just outside and wanted to get his attention, so it deliberately made a noise?
“Miss Qiao? Miss Qiao?”
Claire’s voice pulled her back to reality.
Qiao Sang looked at the man outside the window, reined in her thoughts, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Miss Qiao, I wanted to ask if there was a Little Steel Falcon here just now?” Claire asked respectfully.
Case closed, Little Steel Falcon deliberately made a noise to get this person’s attention, wanting to make Ashley’s efforts in vain; Claire was a key figure in this, but why would it think it could attract Claire’s attention… Qiao Sang’s thoughts drifted away.
Unless it’s a particularly familiar Pet, most Pets of the same species probably look similar to people, and even if Little Steel Falcon had brief contact with Claire in District 27, Claire wouldn’t necessarily recognize it as the Little Steel Falcon from District 27 immediately…
That’s right! Wild Pet!
Claire is the butler, so he must have received news that a Wild Pet had broken in!
With so many surveillance cameras here, he should already know that the Pet that broke in is Little Steel Falcon!
So Little Steel Falcon was certain he would notice it, not because it thought he recognized it, but because it knew it was now a Wild Pet being hunted… Qiao Sang suddenly realized.
“Miss Qiao?” Claire called out.
Qiao Sang came back to her senses and hummed in acknowledgment.
Claire asked respectfully, “Miss Qiao, did you see which direction that 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 find Ashley.”
Meeting is fate, she didn’t mind helping Little Steel Falcon.
…
Ashley returned to her room in a joyful mood.
But the next second, her expression turned ugly.
Where was Little Steel Falcon?
Didn’t they agree for it to wait for her in the room!
At the same time, Little Steel Falcon watched the scene inside through the window from a tree outside the house.
After staring for about a minute, its ears twitched, hearing the footsteps of a human male wearing leather shoes.
“Gang Gang!”
Little Steel Falcon immediately changed to a happy expression, flapping its wings and flying into the room from the window.
“Where did you go?” Ashley turned her head, and upon seeing Little Steel Falcon, immediately controlled her facial expression, feigning concern and saying, “Wild Pets aren’t allowed here. If you wander around, you’ll get caught.”
“Gang Gang.”
What a fake human.
Little Steel Falcon showed an “I’m sorry” expression.
“It’s good that you know you were wrong.” Ashley stroked Little Steel Falcon’s head.
Although she couldn’t directly understand the meaning of a Pet’s words, she could guess the general idea from a Pet’s body language and expressions, which was one of the reasons she could communicate with Wild Pets and act as a pseudo Yu Beast Master.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Ashley wasn’t flustered and whispered, “You hide first.”
“Gang Gang.”
I don’t want to listen to you.
Little Steel Falcon nodded and quickly hid behind the curtain.
Ashley opened the door, looking surprised, “Mr. Claire?”
Claire stepped into the room, scanned the interior, then turned to stare expressionlessly at Ashley, asking, “Do you know that a Wild Little Steel Falcon broke in today?”
Ashley’s heart tightened, but she maintained a worried expression: “I know, I heard someone mention it tonight. What’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
“Then have you seen it?” Claire continued to ask.
“No.” Ashley shook her head.
Claire asked in a cold tone, “What did Miss Qiao want with you today?”
Something was off; Claire wasn’t usually this way. Did Miss Qiao say something to Claire? But that shouldn’t be, if she said something, why did she send Claire away at that time… Ashley was about to speak.
Suddenly, the curtain by the wall seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, rising to an extremely high arc.
Claire turned his head and saw the Little Steel Falcon that a group of people had been searching for all evening.
“Gang Gang…”
Little Steel Falcon wore a bewildered expression.
Ashley’s face subtly changed.
In her original plan, she was to stabilize Little Steel Falcon first, then hand it over when the police arrived, thereby gaining both the bounty and a good reputation within the Manor.
But now the police hadn’t arrived, yet Claire had discovered Little Steel Falcon first, which instantly disrupted her original plan.
If Claire caught Little Steel Falcon, by the time the police arrived, the 200,000 bounty might not necessarily be hers, as by this calculation, she would only have provided information.
Moreover, she had just denied seeing Little Steel Falcon. If the police arrived, they would definitely contact her first, and her lie would be exposed directly in front of Claire.
Damn it, why did Claire have to pick this time to come find her!
No, she had to find a way for Little Steel Falcon to escape from Claire’s grasp. Even if it couldn’t escape, she absolutely couldn’t let him realize that she knew Little Steel Falcon… Ashley made up her mind, just feigning a surprised expression, before she even had a chance to speak.
“Gang Gang…”
At this moment, Little Steel Falcon flew over and hid behind Ashley, its wings clutching her leg, peeking out its head in a dependent posture.
No one who saw them would think they had no relation.
Ashley: “!!!”
“Ashley!” Claire’s eyes blazed with anger.
At this moment, he completely believed what Miss Qiao had said.
“Mr. Claire, I also don’t know why Little Steel Falcon is in my room.” Ashley’s expression changed slightly: “You know, I’m always liked by Wild Pets.”
She was confident that Claire didn’t have the patience to listen to a Wild Pet speak, let alone summon a Pet to translate.
Compared to a Wild Pet, Claire would definitely believe her more; she had that confidence.
An ear-splitting ringtone suddenly sounded.
No way, this unlucky… Ashley couldn’t help but curse “fuck” in her heart.
“Aren’t you going to answer?” Claire asked coldly.
“It’s an unknown number.” Ashley glanced at her phone screen, trying to pick it up and turn it off.
Claire, quick-witted, snatched the phone from the table first, answered, and put it on speakerphone.
A young male voice came from the other end of the line:
“Hello? Is this Miss Ashley? We are the police who just received your emergency call. We have arrived. Is the Little Steel Falcon you mentioned still with you? We are at the Sfevo Manor entrance now. Can you bring it out directly?”
It’s over… Ashley’s heart sank.
Claire might not be clear about Little Steel Falcon’s origin, but the police definitely knew it came from District 27. Just now, Little Steel Falcon had shown such closeness to her. If the two sides communicated, would Claire connect the dots…
“Gang Gang…”
It’s so obvious, any human with a brain would figure it out.
Just as Ashley’s heart was chilling, Little Steel Falcon showed a hurt expression, spread its wings, and flew out the window.
Ashley was stunned for a moment, then a surge of joy filled her heart.
In her opinion, the current situation was too bad, but if Little Steel Falcon didn’t fall into Claire’s hands and managed to escape, it wouldn’t be too bad after all.
Little Steel Falcon had come here with such difficulty from District 27, it must really like her, and it would definitely come back to find her then.
Even if she was kicked out by Claire for lying, with Little Steel Falcon, the 200,000 would still be hers sooner or later.
Claire snorted coldly: “Still trying to escape?”
He immediately put down the phone and was about to form hand seals.
“Mr. Claire!” Ashley placed her hand on his hand that was forming seals.
Claire had no choice but to stop his hand seals.
“That call just now, I can explain it,” Ashley continued.
Claire looked at Ashley with a mocking gaze, then shook his hand free and continued to form seals.
…
Little Steel Falcon flapped its wings and flew towards a direction with no surveillance.
Suddenly, it saw a familiar figure under the eaves.
“Need help?” Qiao Sang looked up and smiled.
