Gu Ning didn't really want to talk to the Beast Police officer, Leighton.
She glanced at Leighton, meeting his assessing gaze. She immediately lowered her eyes and huddled a little closer to Alex.
She didn't like being stared at like this. Besides, as a police officer, Leighton's eyes were bright and sharp, as if he could see right through a person with a single glance.
Compared to the prying and curious looks from other Beastmen, this direct, almost scrutinizing gaze made her even more uncomfortable, even a little frightened.
To someone like her, who was hiding her identity, Leighton felt like a natural predator, sparking a primal fear.
She had disguised herself as a Dwarf hybrid for so long, and even when working in Cook's place at the construction site, no one had discovered her true identity.
But one trip to the police station, and her identity was stripped away by Leighton.
Thankfully, Alex was a good Beastman. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out so well for her.
