Chapter 186 New Discovery
Sierra left as she said.
They took Solomon and the cheetahs back to their original places.
Sarah and Bonnie would lead their cubs to reclaim their territory, restoring their reign as cheetah queens.
Solomon went back to its tree, and could only watch reluctantly as Sierra and the others walked away.
Sierra beckoned to Solomon, and it jumped straight down from several feet up in the tree.
It rubbed its big head against Sierra’s hand, saying gently, “Sierra, will you come back?”
Sierra replied, “I’m just going to do some paperwork and help the military look into what happened. Looks like I’ll be stuck here for another couple of weeks. Besides-”
Sierra paused, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Besides, I promised I’d bring you some medicine for your paws
Solomon thought, ‘I don’t like this.’
Solomon looked like he was about to have a meltdown, so Sierra decided to ease up and got a lot more serious
She said, “Solomon, you’ll have a lioness as your partner someday, so you need to keep yourself clean. If possible, integrate into the pride, or even expand your own. Understand?”
Solomon drooped his head and let out a sigh. “No lioness is ever going to like me.”
Sierra looked at him, totally exasperated. “Seriously, you’re so strong. How could no lioness ever fall for you? Wait here. When I come back, I’ll set you up on a match.”
As she said that, Sierra suddenly thought of Quickie and its dream of having eight wives.
She’d been gone so long that she hadn’t even gotten around to finding matches for Quickie yet.

Sierra gave Solomon’s head a reassuring pat. “Don’t worry, I’ll get you eight wives.
However, Solomon wasn’t thrilled at all. Instead, it let out a long, heavy sigh. “My human wife, you’re all I need.”
Solomon rumbled, nuzzling her head with its chin. “I tried to woo some lionesses before, but they either said I was unattractive or thought I was dumb.
“And none of them wanted to build a nest with me up in the trees. You’re different, Sierra. Humans lived in trees thousands of years ago, so we’re meant to be.”
Sierra just stared, thinking, ‘What does that nonsense come from?’
She really wanted to peek inside Solomon’s head to see if it was truly dimwitted.
Then she thought, ‘Oh, wait. The lionesses called Solomon dimwitted outright, so there’s clearly something off in its head.”
Sierra gave Solomon a look that was equal parts pity and exasperation. “Solomon, we’re just too different. There’s no way this could ever work out.”
Solomon pondered for a second, its eyes shining with hope. “Just imagining you as my wife makes me so happy. If you’d just say yes, I’d be the happiest lion in the world.”
Sierra knew there was no use trying to talk sense into Solomon. She poked its head and said, “Anyway, I’m leaving now, so stay safe. Most humans are good.
“If you need help, use that bowing gesture you made before. They’ll be willing to help.”
Seeing how dim Solomon could be, Sierra added a few more tips.
Even though she’d come back again, she knew that these few days with Solomon might be all the time they’d ever get together in this lifetime.
The laws of nature were harsh, yet Sierra still hoped Solomon could live out his life safely.
After all her reminders, Sierra left.
Sarah, Bonnie, and Solomon quietly walked the wildlife rescue team all the way to the edge of Primal Pines Reserve, accompanied by flocks of birds, spotted hyenas, and elephants.
Countless creatures watched from afar, their eyes filled with reluctance and longing.
Normally, wildlife was sparse on the outer edg Successfully unlocked area teeming with animals. There was no hunting, no violence, just creatures sitting quieng on the th
ay toward the exit.
Following the animals’ gaze, the tourists realized every pair of eyes was fixed on a totally smashed-up car.

Chapter 186 New Discovery
Just as they were about to leave the reserve, a beautiful Valorian girl stepped out of the car. She didn’t say a word; she just gave the animals a little wave.
The next moment, a massive lion suddenly let out a roar and sprinted toward her.
Everyone expected the lion to attack, but instead, it behaved like a cat, nuzzling and rubbing against the Valorian girl incessantly.
Sierra gave Solomon a resigned look as it clung to her, unwilling to say goodbye, and softly reassured it.
The cop standing nearby signaled with their eyes that it was time to leave.
Sierra could only sigh and climb back into the car.
After Sierra left, the wild animals slowly drifted away, each heading off to start the next chapter of their lives.
What Sierra didn’t know was that a Silvanian reporter, out filming an environmental story, caught it all on camera, titling it: [ Nature and humanity. The mysterious power of a Valorian girl.]
In the photos, animals were snuggling up to humans, everyone getting along like one big family.
Solomon approached the Valorian girl carefully, tender and hesitant, showing the side of the lion king rarely seen.
As soon as those photos dropped, they instantly sparked a buzz among a niche crowd in Silvania.
[Seriously, the Valorian country is truly filled with wonders. Unlike those face-to-face photography experts, this Valorian girl seems to possess an innate affinity with animals.]
[Check out the size of that lion. It’s gotta be pride’s king. Never thought I’d see a lion appear so gentle. It’s basically a giant cat.]
[Guys, the Valorian land is huge, okay? I’m betting this girl is from Hustralia. I read some translated Hustralian novels. One story talked about an old sect called the Beast-Taming Sect that could control hundreds of animals.]
Soon, fans started recommending a bunch of Hustralian web novels.
The news soon caught the attention of local Hustralian students. They weren’t interested at first, but when they saw the stunning photo, they realized it was Sierra.
Then they saw which paper posted it, and their jaws dropped. It was the well-known Adventurer Path Daily.
This was one of the oldest newspapers in Silvania, and it still has a huge audience,
[Damn, this is pure glory for Hustralia. I can’t believe Sierra made the news in Silvania.]
[Hey, don’t freak out. The stunning girl in the photo is from Hustralia, and her name is Sierra. She’s a Northbel University alum and an actress, now running the WonderWild Zoo. You must go see it when you visit Hustralia.]
[WonderWild Zoo is basically Amberty’s most famous attraction. Tickets cost only 12 bucks, and the animals there are full of energy. Ugh, I really miss home. I’d love to go back and visit the zoo. I want to catch the parrots’ epic sing-alongs.] [Checking in from overseas. Just a heads-up. While Sierra is away, the animals are acting even wilder than usual.]
[When Sierra comes back, she’ll be shocked.]
[Anyone got updates on that toad? Did the swan finally get it or what?]
[Nope, the zookeeper swooped in and saved it again. Man, that toad did not look happy at all.]
[That toad went and headbutted the zookeeper today, then got swept away with a broom.]
Silvanians were frantically scratching their heads, watching all these Hustralians posting in their own language. Desperate to figure out what was going on, they started running everything through translators, trying to make sense of it.
The smarter ones went straight to Sierra’s Hustralian account to watch her videos and livestream replays.
After watching, they couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
[Whoa, Hustralia is truly incredible, but it’s so far away. I’ve heard it’s not entirely safe. I’m scared to go even though I want to.]
[Dude, I’ve been to Hustralia, and it’s beautiful. Even ten years ago, their transport was excellent, and each region had a unique culture. It’s not like back home where people talk about freedom but live in a cage.]
[The most dangerous time is at night in Hustralia.]
Loads of Silvanians agreed in the comments.
However, a few minutes later, the original poster shared a photo of a barbecue restaurant. [Yeah, nights in Hustralia are so dangerous. I gained 55 pounds in three years here.]

Chapter 186 New Discovery
Silvanian fell silent.
Sierra had no clue she was trending overseas again.
They still needed to interrogate Carlos and his men, but the group refused to cooperate.
Feeling reluctant to leave with nothing, Sierra and her people ended up staying at a nearby hotel.
A few days later, the police called to say they’d found a clue, so Sierra and her crew hurried over to the station.
The police said, “The mastermind behind this poaching ring is Carlos Parker, a Silvanian. He controls three biotech. companies, two educational institutions, and a zoo. He claims his hunting was to expand his zoo.”
Sierra didn’t even blink. “He’s totally lying.”
The cop nodded in agreement. “Ms. Sierra Sterling, you’re right. We didn’t buy his story either, so we squeezed some details out of his guys.”
The cop laid out a stack of photos on the table.
He said, “These are photos of the animals Carlos captured. He’s arrogant; he photographed every animal he took, from juveniles to adults, but our investigation revealed it’s not that simple.
“Thousands of rare animals weren’t sent to his zoo. Instead, many ended up in foreign zoos and circuses.”
Sierra lowered her gaze and flipped through the photos one by one.
Suddenly, Sierra paused, spotting a lion that looked very similar to Solomon.
