Although Kite had a feeling he would no longer get the chance to fight Neferpitou, he still took out his phone immediately as he watched the direction Neferpitou had disappeared in.
Sitting upright on Nue's back, Qiao Lun felt his phone vibrate. When he took it out, he saw Kite's number on the screen.

The instant the call connected, Kite's voice reached everyone nearby.
"So that one actually stopped following Meruem's orders to keep guarding her?" Qiao Lun was somewhat surprised.
But he was not necessarily all that worried. After all, Neferpitou was a living being. Qiao Lun had chosen to leave despite knowing full well that they had an agreement. If Neferpitou had still stubbornly stayed by Komugi, that would have been rather foolish.
After all, Qiao Lun's earlier treatment of Komugi had already allowed Neferpitou to confirm one thing: they would not attack her.
That gave Neferpitou plenty of room to maneuver.
Something else did concern Qiao Lun a little, though: he still had not collected Neferpitou's shadow in his Shadow Space.
