Your problem isn’t solved yet, how could I leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't consider herself a good person, but she was quite interested in this little steel falcon, very interested, in fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were plenty of intelligent pet beasts, but one as cunning as this, capable of toying with humans, was rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the fact that this little steel falcon had traveled alone from 27th District to 3rd District and then accurately found Ashley’s location proved its remarkable perseverance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little steel falcon looked thoughtfully at the human before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You targeted me from the very beginning.\" Qiao Sang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, you didn’t really need me to find Ashley.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, she seemed to realize something and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, maybe you had already found her but needed a 'good person' to bring you right to Ashley. That way, you'd have a witness to prove your connection to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if Ashley denied knowing you in front of Claire, the 'good person' would step up as a witness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You knew Ashley would be eager to trade you in for the bounty, so you had to make sure Claire saw evidence of your connection to her before that happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once a seed of doubt is planted, when the police arrive and compare notes, Ashley’s true identity will be exposed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you still felt uncertain. That’s where the ‘good person’ comes in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She will confirm your connection to Ashley, after all, she’s a ‘good person,’ isn’t she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s excitement grew as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you did one more thing, you slipped a feather into the ‘good person’s’ pocket. Because you were afraid she might leave before the police arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bet that she really was a good person and that she’d come back when she saw the feather. Am I right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao was utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure appeared, looking at the little steel falcon with shining eyes, wearing an expression of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gang…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little steel falcon froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it really done all that…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the sound of leather shoes approaching caught its ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its ears twitched, and it flapped its wings, ready to take off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qiao Sang, quick as lightning, grabbed its wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said I'd help you, why are you running?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little steel falcon was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Qiao.\" Claire stepped out from the shadows, accompanied by a one-meter-tall pet beast covered in brown mane with an elongated snout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you hand over the little steel falcon to me?\" Claire asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Qiao Sang refused instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire was momentarily taken aback.

You go get Ashley. Some things need to be clarified in front of the police.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she cradled Yabao in one arm, held onto the steel falcon’s wing with the other, and strode toward the manor’s entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Claire called out, \"Miss Qiao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around, silently asking what was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I call Miss Yuna as well?\" Claire asked, looking conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need.\" Qiao Sang replied nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to Sfevo Manor’s main entrance, the little steel falcon stayed in Qiao Sang’s grip without struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked up at the human it had chosen and wondered if she was also after its bounty…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Qiao Sang let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little steel falcon flapped its wings, quickly stabilizing itself midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without hesitation, it turned and flew off in another direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black shadow instantly wrapped around it, pulling it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you running to? We’re almost there.\" Qiao Sang glanced at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gang…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little steel falcon looked at Little Treasure, then at Yabao, evaluated their combat strength, and resigned itself to fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it were traded for the bounty, as long as that pretentious human lost everything…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Qiao Sang reached the entrance of Sfevo Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several uniformed police officers immediately surrounded the little steel falcon, which was still bound by shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you Miss Ashley?\" A young officer hesitantly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not.\" Qiao Sang shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, you can release the steel falcon now and hand it over to us.\" Another middle-aged officer said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang calmly replied, \"I’m not here to hand it over. I’m here to report a crime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers exchanged puzzled looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gang…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little steel falcon stared blankly at the human beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao Sang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Age?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifteen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re an interstellar exchange student from Blue Star?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the police station, Qiao Sang went through the familiar process of filing a report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two officers questioning her grew increasingly uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The case itself was minor, but the person reporting it was far too special. If mishandled, and this girl posted about it online or contacted the media, it could cause a public scandal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could already imagine netizens saying, \"Chaosu Star is embarrassing itself in front of Blue Star\" or \"I hope she won’t go back and say we’re all like this…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One officer steadied himself, poured Qiao Sang a cup of tea, and asked, \"You said Ashley tricked the steel falcons into attacking Claire. Do you have proof?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t there people and pet beasts in the station? I heard Chaosu Star police stations all have a pet beast called theYaya Clock. If someone speaks the truth, the clock chimes once; if they lie, it chimes twice. You can test it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two officers: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang continued, \"If you don’t have a Yaya Clock, I can help. My Blazing Star Canine has perceptive abilities, it can project Ashley’s recent memories, proving she knows the steel falcon. If you don’t trust my canine, you can use a pet beast with mind-reading abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the officers exchanged alarmed glances. If they had to rely on this girl for their case, their reputation would be in shambles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer who had poured her tea quickly said, \"No need! We have a Yaya Clock! Don’t worry, this case will be wrapped up soon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang sipped her tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two officers let out a breath of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, since the steel falcon is in your custody now, is its bounty canceled?\" She asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right.\" The younger officer replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It didn’t attack humans, only stole identity wristbands. That’s not a severe offense. Can I bail it out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had checked the regulations on the way here, captured wild pet beasts in Chaosu Star were usually sent to work camps before being released into lower districts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bail it out? But it’s a wild pet beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It won’t be for much longer.\" Qiao Sang said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to contract it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little steel falcon watched as a human entered, called away its interrogators, and spoke to them in hushed tones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the officers returned, their attitudes had completely changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t expect this, you actually caught the attention of someone like that.\" One officer unlocked its cage and patted its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Behave yourself. Don’t embarrass Chaosu Star when you get to Blue Star.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little steel falcon: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>T\u002Fn: Sorry for not updating yesterday, got a little busy with personal things!
