"Remember Pearney?" The little green winged snake didn't wait for him to reply before asking again.
Ivan nodded slightly, feeling a sense of foreboding.
"She had secret communication with some other people through a Secret Method Seal before, could one of them be you?"
What followed confirmed Ivan's suspicion—he had indeed been detected. No wonder he hadn't been able to contact Pearney these past few days.
He hurriedly explained, "Lahr, after you captured Pearney, I accidentally discovered a Secret Method Seal Bead in the dormitory and contacted her with it. I was only trying to learn about a few things from her, I really didn't do anything beyond that."
*If he didn't clarify this, what if he were mistaken as an accomplice of Billerie? That would bring him some serious trouble.*
The little green winged snake didn't lash out, "I know. Otherwise, you'd never be standing here unscathed."
