Beast Tamer's Rebirth National Treasure Edition novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238 You Actually Dared To Roast Me

The Hustralian cop heard the live translation and blew up on the spot. He snapped, “Scum! You animal!”

He thought to himself, ‘Thank goodness Sierra Isn’t allowed in here. She’d be even more mad than we are

‘She’d risked her neck, gone through hell and high water to save all kinds of animals, but how could one person possibly stand up to the brutality of a whole mob?”

Lucas caught what the Hustralian cop sald and let out a mocking laugh. He sneered, “Me? A scumbag and an animal? What about all those people who bullied me before? It’s not like I killed anyone, just a few animals. Why are you all losing your minds over this?”

“You’re showing no respect for life! You just want to put yourself above the law!” the cop shot back.

The way he abused cats and dogs was downright brutal, but Lucas still acted like it was nothing.

Deep down, he had no idea just how much blood was on his hands.

The Hustralian cop pressed, “So what made you start making up those stories and set up Tiger Haven?”

Lucas answered honestly, “It was the founder of the Darknet Animal Hub. My account was really active, so he made me his

agent.”

The Hustralian cop immediately remembered what Sierra had told him before: Carlos and Lucas go way back.

“So Carlos was one of the agents for the Darknet Animal Hub, too?” the cop asked.

“Yeah,” Lucas replied.

Now the Hustralian cop finally got why Sierra got spotted so fast.

Back then, the whole drama between Carlos and Sierra blew up big time in Kenland. Since Lucas and Carlos already knew each other, the moment Lucas laid eyes on Sierra, he was already scheming against her.

The police would have to investigate the Darknet Animal Hub later.

Lucas was a serious danger to society, but his fate would be decided by local laws and the court’s ruling. Sierra and the others had no say.

The Thalasian police managed to rescue the tigers, but Sierra couldn’t take them back to Hustralia. So she checked out a few more places around Thalasia and ended up choosing a zoo with a solid reputation.

The police had no problem with such a small request.

Before Sierra left, the head of the Thalasian police said, “Ms. Sierra Sterling, we’re really lucky you got involved with the Tiger Haven case.

“Without you, we never would’ve uncovered this bombshell. If you hadn’t stepped in, this secret might’ve stayed hidden forever.

“The Thalasian police sincerely apologize, and we’re also sorry for how the local cops issued a warrant for you before even looking into things. Don’t worry, we won’t let any shady stuff slide.”

Sierra replied, “No worries, but could you guys post the full story on social media? Otherwise, some people won’t see it and will keep calling me a wanted criminal.

“If the police put it out there, I’ll finally be able to clap back at those trolls, right?”

Her teasing comment made the cop laugh, and he quickly nodded, promising he’d make sure it got done.

As she was leaving, Sierra asked for a copy of the files from Lucas’s computer.

Once the Tiger Haven case was settled, Sierra and her crew headed back to Hustralia.

As soon as they landed, Thomas, Henry, and a whole bunch of bigwigs were waiting at the entrance of WonderWild Zoo. The moment Sierra and her crew climbed out of the car, everyone grabbed handfuls of salt and tossed a pinch over each shoulder, then fanned them with fresh pine boughs.

Thomas even lit a small bonfire so they could hop across the flames and leave the bad luck behind.

Even though the crew thought the bigwigs were being a little dramatic, they all went along with it anyway.

Henry looked emotional. He said, “Sierra, you guys really had it rough.”

He thought, ‘They must have been through a lo Successfully unlocked!

gitives.’

Timothy just grinned and waved it off. He said, honesty, it wasn’t nearly as bad as you think. We ate and drank like royalty every single day.”

Henry could only stare in disbelief.

Timothy, seeing Henry’s stunned look, grinned and said, “No, really. We were just spending Wesley’s cash the whole time.”

Henry just looked even more lost.

Sierra gave a quick explanation, then finished, “Wesley said he’ll be coming to Hustralia soon. Right now, he’s helping out with elephants over in Qartham.”

“We really need to thank him properly,” Henry said seriously.

Seriously, if it hadn’t been for Wesley, with the little cash they had, they wouldn’t have been able to get by at all over there.

Too bad Wesley had to rush off to Qartham right after everything was settled. They didn’t even get a chance to add him on social media.

Sierra gave the wildlife rescue team a few days off.

She said goodbye to Elliot.

Elliot didn’t really want to say goodbye, but when he saw how worn out Sierra was, he just nodded.

“Sierra, if you ever run into trouble, give me a call, okay? Don’t treat me like a stranger,” Elliot said.

Sierra glanced up at him with a puzzled look.

The words just slipped out of Elliot’s mouth before he could catch himself, and once he said it, there was no taking it back.

He wanted to smack himself for being so stupid.

Elliot’s mind raced, and he came up with a quick cover. He said, “Look, you are close to Sophie and my mom. So you are like a little sister to me. It is only right for me to help you when you are in trouble.”

Sierra thought it over, then smiled. She said, “Deal. If I ever need help, I’ll come to you.”

Elliot nodded with a straight face.

Then, without hesitating, he spun around and hopped back into the car.

Connor had been waiting for Elliot inside, all set to go.

Connor glanced up at him in the rearview mirror and saw Elliot looking like he was about to cry.

Then, to his shock, he watched as Elliot gave himself a light slap across the face.

Connor thought, ‘Is it just me, or is Mr. Paterson not fully awake yet? Or maybe I’m the one still dreaming?

‘Wasn’t Mr. Paterson always super proud of his looks? He used to brag about being so good-looking that he could totally charm Sierra just by showing his face.

‘He even snuck off with his mom’s skincare stash just to keep his skin perfect.

‘He is so obsessed with his looks that he’ll probably ensure his face if he could. And yet, here he is, actually slapping himself?

‘Did he take the wrong meds this morning or something?’

But terrified of getting fired, Connor forced himself to stay calm and say nothing.

Elliot slumped back in the leather seat, sounding totally defeated. He mumbled, “It’s over. Everything’s over.”

The assistant just stared, totally lost.

He thought, ‘Over what?’

Elliot covered his eyes with one hand and let out a deep sigh.

He muttered, “Why can’t I just keep my mouth shut?”

Connor thought, ‘Seriously, you’re only just realizing this now?”

Elliot groaned, “I wanted to be Sierra’s husband, not her brother. How did I end up in the brother zone?”

Connor thought, ‘Honestly, this is still a step up, right?”

Every time Elliot said something, Connor had a snarky comeback ready in his mind.

Finally, Connor was at a loss for words. He glanced out the window and said, “Mr. Paterson, I’m driving the Mercedes today. The windows are tinted, so people outside can’t see in. But it looks like Sierra is watching you right now.”

Elliot shot upright in his seat.

He looked out the window and, sure enough, saw Sierra staring at him with a puzzled look, like she was silently asking if he was okay.
