When the boy’s vision regained clarity, he found himself standing on a bustling street.

His face showed shock and bewilderment.

After a few seconds of daze, the boy exclaimed, "Was that teleportation?"

"No, that was spatial shift." Qiao Sang corrected.

Was there a difference between teleportation and spatial shift? The boy, who had never systematically learned about such things, wasn't sure.

But he knew now wasn’t the time to be curious.

"You’re really an amazing beast tamer." The boy looked at Qiao Sang and said sincerely.

Qiao Sang accepted the compliment without hesitation and said, "Let’s find a place to sit. I’ll call the police again."

"Okay." The boy nodded obediently without objection.

The two walked into a café across the street.

After placing an order, Qiao Sang glanced around and casually picked a seat.

The boy sat across from her.

Qiao Sang dialed the police and, after providing her location, hung up.

"Now, can you tell me what happened?" Qiao Sang asked.

The boy glanced around, remained silent for a few seconds, and then spoke:

"My name is Tim. I’m from the 26th District. Two years ago, someone offered me a job opportunity and took me to the 19th District."

At this point, a pained expression crossed his face.

"I didn’t know they were involved in such shady business. They made me steal, pretend to be pitiful to beg for money, and sometimes even lure aggressive wild pet beasts into crowded places."

"I just wanted to earn some money. But later, I discovered that many others like me had been tricked too, and some were even kidnapped by them."

"I thought about escaping, but some of them were beast tamers. I had no chance."

"So, I decided to steal from those beast tamers, because only another beast tamer could stand a chance against them. But those tamers either let me go or beat me up… until I met you."

Gangbao quietly listened, looking thoughtful.

So, humans could also end up in such miserable situations...

Just as I thought, he was being controlled... But why lure aggressive wild pet beasts into crowds? Is there a way to profit from that? Qiao Sang didn’t dwell on the question and instead asked:

"Are they an organization? How many people? Are there many beast tamers among them?"

Tim thought for a moment before answering, "They are definitely an organization, but I don’t know the exact number. What I do know is that there are quite a few beast tamers among them, and…"

At this point, he instinctively glanced at Little Treasure before continuing,

"Most of those beast tamers have a ghost-type pet beast."

"Xun Xun…"

Little Treasure pouted.

You could just say it, why look at me when mentioning ghost-type pet beasts…

A ghost-type pet beast… Qiao Sang was no longer a newbie who had to look everything up online. The moment she heard this, she immediately connected it to what she knew about ghost-types.

Different pet beasts have various evolutionary paths and ways of absorbing energy. Most ghost-type pet beasts feed on strange and eerie energies, converting them into their own power.

For example, human dreams, resentment, fear, regret, and even life itself…

No wonder… Something felt off about all this…

How much money can you even make from stealing? Beast tamers have high social status on Chaosu and have many ways to make money, winning just two matches in a pet beast arena could earn them what an ordinary person might take a month to earn.

And leading aggressive wild pet beasts into crowds doesn’t seem profitable at all… But if their goal was to collect fear to feed their ghost-type pet beasts, then it makes perfect sense…

After piecing everything together, Qiao Sang reassured him,

"It’s all in the past now. Just tell the police everything when they arrive."

She had no intention of getting further involved. A group of beast tamers with ghost-type pet beasts could be capable of anything. A situation like this was best left to the police.

Tim nodded.

"Yeah, I understand."

"Miss, here’s your coffee and milk." The waiter placed the drinks on the table.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Qiao Sang pushed the milk toward him.

"This is for you."

"Thank you…" Tim was momentarily stunned before carefully taking a sip.

Just then, a man in a police uniform walked in.

His uniform was too eye-catching, making it easy for Qiao Sang to spot him at first glance.

The man had a thick beard and a tall but not overly imposing build.

He scanned the room as if searching for someone, then his gaze landed on Qiao Sang. After studying her for a moment, he walked over.

"Hello, did you call the police?"

Qiao Sang nodded slightly.

"Yes, that was me."

The bearded officer looked at Tim and confirmed, "So, this is the boy who stole from you on the subway?"

Tim stood up and nervously stood to the side.

"He did steal from me."

Qiao Sang said, "But he was being controlled."

"This case seems more complicated than I thought. I’ll need to take him to the station." The officer said, giving Tim a deep look.

"I’ll have to trouble you to come with me."

Tim didn’t seem relieved by the police’s arrival. Instead, he looked at Qiao Sang seriously and asked, "Can you tell me your name?"

Qiao Sang didn’t answer. She took a sip of her coffee and instead asked,

"Don’t I need to go to the station too?"

The bearded officer hesitated for a moment before smiling.

"No need."

With that, he grabbed Tim’s arm and prepared to leave.

Tim didn’t move. He looked at the beast tamer who had helped him, full of anticipation, hoping she would tell him her name.

Qiao Sang set down her coffee cup, rubbed her temples, and said flatly,

"I’m afraid I can’t let you take him."

"Why?" The officer frowned.

Because I’m way too familiar with the process of reporting a crime… This is full of holes. There are so many people here, yet the moment you walked in, you somehow already knew I was the one who called? And most importantly, you won’t even let me go to the station to give my statement? What kind of logic is that…

Qiao Sang silently ridiculed in her mind while keeping a calm and unreadable expression.

Tim seemed to realize something, his face filling with fear as he struggled free from the bearded man’s grip.

The officer’s face darkened, but he maintained his persona.

"If you don’t cooperate, I’ll have to use force."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a voice beside him.

"Little Treasure."

The bearded man’s heart tightened. He immediately released Tim and shouted, "Shadow Ambush!"

A dark shadow shot out from his own shadow, swiftly crawling along the ground toward Qiao Sang.

Just as the shadow was about to strike, Qiao Sang suddenly vanished, along with Gangbao, Little Treasure, and Yabao.

The bearded man’s eyes widened in shock. Realizing something, he turned his head, only to find that Tim had also disappeared.

"!!!"

The man couldn’t hold back and cursed, "Fuck!"

He took a deep breath and immediately turned to leave.

"Sir!" A waiter called out to him.

The bearded man turned back, his face grim.

The waiter hesitated before saying, "That lady hasn’t paid yet."

Bearded Man: ...

In a narrow alley, Tim still looked shaken.

"Wasn’t that guy a cop?"

"He probably wasn’t." Qiao Sang replied.

Tim fell silent.

At that moment, Qiao Sang’s phone vibrated.

She glanced at the caller ID but didn’t answer.

"No need to wait for the police. I’ll take you there myself." Qiao Sang said.
