Chapter 658 Orla Exposed
Camila immediately pouted upon hearing this, her eyes welling up with tears.
"It's okay, I told you she won't hurt anyone. If Camila wants to play with her, let them play."
Seeing Camila like this, Ethan's heart softened. He pulled Camila aside and reminded her, "Remember, her name is Orla. You have to treat her as your friend and play with her, not as a pet, okay?"
"Got it, Dad. Orla is Camila's best friend!"
Hearing this, Camila's sadness turned to joy, and she clapped her hands happily.
"Ethan."
Hannah, still worried, wanted to object but was interrupted by Ethan raising his hand.
"Orla, lie down and let Camila ride on your back. Carry her around the yard for a couple of laps!"
Ethan directly commanded Orla, believing that actions speak louder than words.
Orla obediently lay down on the ground in front of Chloe and the others. Ethan then placed Camila on Orla's back, and Orla stood up.
Given her current size, carrying a six-year-old child was just right!
Unexpectedly, Orla was so intelligent that she followed Ethan's command to the letter. She immediately started running around the yard with Camila on her back, carefully avoiding bumpy areas to prevent Camila from falling off.
The yard was soon filled with Camila's laughter. Seeing this, Hannah and the others looked on in amazement.
"Ethan, where did you find such an intelligent wolf? Does she really recognize you as her master?"
Jessie still had some concerns and asked.
"If you don't trust her, don't you trust me? Do you think I would put a ticking time bomb next to you? Besides, Camila is my daughter. Would I let her be in danger?"
Ethan's explanation left Chloe and the others with no reason to argue, easing their concerns.
As for Orla's origins, Ethan didn't explain much. Chloe and the others were mainly worried about whether Orla posed any danger.
Trusting Ethan, they naturally believed that Orla posed no threat to them.
"Did you finish your work before coming back?"
Jessie changed the subject and asked.
"It's more or less done. I came back to check on you all."
Ethan explained helplessly.
"Good to have you back. You all go inside; I need to talk to Ethan."
Jessie nodded and instructed Chloe and the others.
Although curious about what Jessie wanted to discuss with Ethan, they didn't dare disobey. After exchanging glances, they went back into the villa.
As for Camila, who was still clinging to Orla, Ethan finally had Orla follow Camila into the villa.
Seeing how obedient Orla was to Ethan, Chloe and the others were completely reassured.
In fact, Chloe and the others were now more curious about Orla than Camila was. Even the pregnant Chloe couldn't resist petting Orla's snow-white fur for a while.
"Chloe, don't you think Orla, apart from looking like a wolf and not being able to speak, seems more like a person?"
After spending some time with Orla, Sarah had a strange feeling. Orla's actions and expressions seemed to mimic human behavior and communication.
"I feel the same way!"
Angela nodded in agreement.
Although Alice and Hannah didn't say anything, their curious eyes said it all.
"Let's ask Ethan about it later. This is the first time I've seen such an intelligent beast!"
Chloe suggested, believing Ethan knew more about Orla.
"I'm not a beast. I'm Orla, from the Moonhowl clan, the true bloodline of the wolf tribe leader!"
At that moment, a sudden female voice, tinged with dissatisfaction, spoke up.
The women were stunned. None of them expected a wolf to speak!
"Orla, you can talk!"
Unlike the shocked Chloe and the others, Camila excitedly shouted.
"Master told me not to speak or reveal my presence, fearing it would scare you."
Orla's tone became a bit guilty. Speaking up had violated Ethan's command, but she couldn't help but defend herself when Chloe called her a beast.
In the yard, Ethan, who was about to hear what Jessie wanted to say, shook his head and smiled wryly upon hearing the commotion inside the villa.
It seemed Orla's true identity couldn't be kept secret any longer.
"What's going on?"
Jessie, having heard the noise inside, immediately asked Ethan.
"She's a divine beast from another race, not originally from this world. She could be thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. I don't know the specifics. Due to some events, she became my spirit beast. It's complicated to explain."
Ethan reluctantly explained Orla's identity.
"Let's discuss other matters later. Go inside and explain to them before they get too scared!"
Jessie urged Ethan, setting aside her own concerns for the moment.
In fact, even if Ethan didn't go inside, Chloe and the others couldn't wait to come out. Orla speaking had completely upended their worldview, and they needed answers from Ethan immediately.
Half an hour later, Ethan finally introduced Orla to Chloe and the others.
They understood that such extraordinary events must be kept secret. In front of outsiders, they had to keep Orla's identity under wraps.
Even Camila promised to keep Orla's secret.
"You said she's powerful. How strong is she exactly?"
Jessie asked one last question, still concerned.
"Her original strength should be very powerful. I don't know the specifics, but after waking up this time, she only has the strength of a grandmaster level. She hasn't fully recovered yet."
Ethan thought for a moment and decided to be honest about Orla's strength.
With Orla's identity exposed, there was no need to hide her strength.
Having a grandmaster-level divine beast at home was like having a grandmaster-level bodyguard, which was good news for Chloe and the others.
Despite being prepared, Jessie and Chloe were still shocked by Orla's grandmaster-level strength.
But after the shock, they were more excited.
After all, this grandmaster-level divine beast belonged to Ethan!
This was enough to make Chloe and the others set aside their worries and be happy for Ethan.
The stronger Ethan's allies, the safer Ethan and they would be!
Not understanding what grandmaster level meant, Camila excitedly hugged Orla, asking her all sorts of questions with childlike curiosity.
Orla seemed to enjoy talking with Camila, boasting about her noble origins and earning Camila's applause.
"Mom, what did you want to talk to me about earlier?"
Ethan suddenly turned to Jessie and asked.
