Repeatedly obstructed, Milady didn't even have a chance to act before Yu Gan had vanished far into the island's dense forest. As she stopped, realizing pursuit was hopeless, the Mechanical Falcon glided down and plunged into the trees.
The opportunity to take down Xi Yadu had slipped right through her fingers.

This battle had made her need for a device all the more urgent. She decided to risk it and continue toward the small lake before anyone came looking for her.
