Only Arthur Lindsey, Julion Johnsons, and Ordon Finnegan remained exceptionally calm, their faces showing not the slightest hint of panic as if they were not worried about anything bad happening at all.
As for Ella Lacey herself, she too was quite composed.
Her clear, enchanting eyes locked gazes with the eagle's sharp crimson ones, unwavering, as if trying to see into the very depths of its soul...
...
She and the eagle stared at each other like this for a full half hour!
Neither of them moved an inch.
It was as if they had entered a state of deep meditation—
Forgetfulness of self!
The others, pointing at their strange atmosphere, asked in surprise,
"What are they doing?"
"Are they communing psychically?"
"Could be, after all, Miss Jiang is the one who woke the eagle..."
...
Hearing what others said, Winny Johnsons became a bit anxious, irritably pouting, "Why isn't the spiritual eagle making its move yet!"
