Chapter 632: Save Me
Chapter 632: Save Me
The boy instinctively covered his head and explained, "I saw her holding a familiar and thought she wasn't a powerful Beastmaster."
The mustachioed man forcefully dragged him to the side and warned, "I've told you, even those F-Rank Beastmasters aren't someone you can just mess with!"
The boy lowered his head, making it hard to see his expression. "I understand."
"Lift your head", the mustachioed man said, looking at the approaching subway. "Keep working."
Qiao Sang, accompanied by Steel Treasure, stepped into the subway car.
"Next stop, Terry Station."
The announcement sounded as the doors closed.
Qiao Sang found a seat and sat down. Steel Treasure stood beside her, keeping the other passengers at a respectful distance.
Beastmasters weren't rare, but most of the passengers on this subway were ordinary people from Left Pong District, heading to Right Bank City for their daily work. They were used to keeping their distance from Beastmasters.
Suddenly, a thin figure sat down beside her.
Qiao Sang was scrolling through her mobile phone, not paying attention.
She was currently browsing her social media feed.
After posting the Imperial Beastmaster Academy's Admission Letter on her feed, she hadn't received any comments from her former classmates, aside from relatives and a few people who had coincidentally added her. She thought it was because they hadn't been in touch for a long time and their relationship had faded. But now, seeing the numerous replies, she realized it was because today was a weekend, and they had only just gotten their phones back.
Poor high school students... Qiao Sang felt a moment of sympathy for her classmates who still had to hand in their phones for class.
【Where did you get that picture? It looks pretty convincing.】
【If I didn't know you were a slacker, I almost would have believed it.】
【How's your familiar in Supernest? Any thoughts on bonding with it?】
【Wow! You actually posted on social media! But what the heck did you post?】
【Please give me the original picture, I want to Photoshop my own name on an Admission Letter too!】
【So this is what an Imperial Beastmaster Academy Admission Letter looks like. I've learned something, but what I'm really curious about is why you can play on your phone?!】
Qiao Sang read through the replies, a smile playing on her lips.
"Steel Guardian!"
Suddenly, Steel Treasure's wings swooped over Qiao Sang's knee and pressed firmly against a pocket on the other side.
Qiao Sang felt the movement and looked down, noticing Steel Treasure holding down a hand that was trying to sneak into her pocket.
No way... Qiao Sang turned her head and saw a face that wasn't entirely unfamiliar.
Brown hair, a thin and somewhat malnourished face—it was the boy who had stolen the Crystal Producer not long ago.
Well, well, it's you again. Do you just have it out for me?... Qiao Sang's lips twitched involuntarily.
She hadn't expected that, despite having Fangy and Steel Treasure with her, someone would still try to target her.
And it was the same person twice, which was beyond frustrating.
Did she look that easy to steal from?
"Steel Treasure, don't let him get away." Qiao Sang said, pulling out her phone to call the police.
Initially, she hadn't wanted to waste time on the kid because of his young age. But to think he would steal from her twice.
She had even changed her route for the subway and still ran into him, which was incredibly bizarre. This kid was definitely a repeat offender and needed to be taken to the police station for a proper lesson.
"Ya Ya!"
Before Steel Treasure could respond, Fangy placed its claws on the boy's hand and chirped, indicating it would handle the situation and make sure the boy didn't escape!
"Steel Guardian."
Steel Treasure nodded and retracted its wings.
It now sat on the other side of its Beastmaster, and this position was a bit inconvenient for holding down the boy.
Fangy was currently in its smaller form, with tiny, adorable claws that looked completely harmless.
But the boy seemed terrified, his hand frozen in place.
Qiao Sang thought the boy still remembered Fangy's enlarged form and knew he couldn't escape.
"Please don't call the police!" a voice suddenly sounded from ahead.
Qiao Sang looked up and saw a man in his thirties, wearing black and sporting a mustache.
"My child is still young. Can you let him off this time? I'll make sure to discipline him properly", the man said earnestly.
After saying this, he slapped the boy's head hard and shouted, "Hurry up and apologize to the Beastmaster Lady!"
Beastmaster Lady... Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment.
To be honest, it was the first time she had heard someone call her that...
The boy remained silent for a moment before mumbling, "I'm sorry."
At the same time, Qiao Sang felt a chill run through her, but her expression remained unchanged.
The surrounding passengers began to gather their gazes.
Seeing that Qiao Sang didn't respond immediately, some well-meaning passengers couldn't help but speak up, "Forget it, he's just a child."
"Let him go home and get a beating. I believe this will teach him a lesson."
"His father is right here. It won't happen again."
Most of the people present were ordinary civilians. They admired Beastmasters but also empathized with them as fellow humans. Seeing that the Beastmaster was just a young girl, they all took her side.
Others remained indifferent, not wanting to get involved in the trouble.
The mustached man, seeing so many people supporting him, thought the matter was almost resolved. He reached out to pull the boy back.
"Teeth!"
But as soon as he extended his hand, Fangy bared his fangs, showing a fierce expression.
The mustached man was startled and stiffly retracted his hand.
He remembered the familiar's enlarged form.
About three meters in size, it had nearly filled half the carriage, a truly terrifying sight.
The surrounding people fell silent. Their unified stance was based on the Beastmaster not showing any anger. Once the Beastmaster or her familiar made a move, they dared not speak anymore.
"The train has arrived at Terry Station. Please take your belongings and prepare to disembark", the announcement sounded.
Qiao Sang ignored the crowd, reached out to grab the boy, and began walking out of the carriage while speaking on the phone she had just answered, "Someone stole from me on the subway. I'm at Terry Station..."
The boy was pulled along silently, offering no resistance.
The mustached man watched the boy's back with anger, hesitated for a moment, but did not follow.
The carriage doors closed.
Seeing his son being taken away, the man didn't follow... The crowd looked at him with strange expressions.
The mustached man ignored their gazes, pulled out his mobile phone, and dialed a number, "Is Mr. Fane at Terry Station right now?"
...
Terry Station.
Qiao Sang released the boy's hand and said, "He didn't follow us."
When the boy had said sorry, she had felt him write two words in her pocket:
【Save me】
The boy turned his head, repeatedly confirming that the man was truly not following, and sincerely said, "Thank you!"
Then he thought of something and asked, "Did you really call the police?"
Qiao Sang nodded, "I did."
Initially, she had wanted the boy to be disciplined by the police. Later, she thought that if he hadn't lied, it would be good for him to explain the situation to the police.
"That's good." The boy let out a slight sigh of relief.
It seemed he was actually hoping the police would come... Qiao Sang asked, "Can you tell me what's going on?"
The boy was silent for a moment before saying, "I can tell you, but can you stay with me until we get to the police station?"
Since I'm the one who called the police... Qiao Sang nodded.
"Ya Ya!"
At that moment, Fangy growled.
Qiao Sang felt a stirring in her heart and smiled, "Let's go somewhere else first."
What? The boy was taken aback.
"Treasure Seeker." Qiao Sang looked at the Air beside her.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker appeared, its eyes glowing blue.
The boy was startled and, before he could react, felt everything go dark.
The next second, the ground where the boy had been standing rippled with gentle, earthy yellow waves. Where the waves passed, the hard ground quickly turned to sand.
A middle-aged man wearing a black top hat stepped out from behind a nearby column, frowning, "Spatial Shift..."
