After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 442 She will seek justice for the animals!

Huo An was somewhat surprised when he received Liang He's video call invitation.

Because Huo An knew that they would be going to the Merfolk's territory today at their invitation, and that communication was impossible in the deep sea.

[Liang He, you didn't go to the Mermaid Clan?]

Seeing the room behind Liang He, and realizing they were still on the Explorer, Huo An raised an eyebrow in confusion.

They went, and then came back.

Before Huo An could ask any further questions, Liang He told him the whole story.

I've heard a little about this matter.

As the head of a key animal sanctuary, Huo An naturally pays attention to such malicious incidents against animals.

So, you also believe it was the work of the rebels?

Seeing that Huo An indeed knew about this, Liang He tentatively asked him about it.

Actually, I also suspect that the assessment of the rebels is wrong.

Huo An shook his head decisively; he had dealt with the rebels quite a bit.

Just as Liang He and Chairman Lucas guessed, if the rebels captured rare and protected animals, their first priority would definitely be to take them back for research, rather than to kill them.

However, this alone cannot prove that there is a mastermind behind it; perhaps it's poachers?

Everything must be supported by evidence. Even if there is some doubt, bold speculation should only be made after all other factors have been reasonably ruled out.

However, since Chairman Lucas has already received a threat, this matter is definitely not ordinary.

Before the beast heads arrived, everything was merely Chairman Lucas's speculation.

Therefore, the appearance of the threatening beast head means that Chairman Lucas's judgment was actually correct.

That's what I thought too, which is why I agreed to take Chairman Lucas's place and continue the investigation.

Liang He was not afraid of the other party's threats. If they had the guts, they could bring people to kill her. Otherwise, she would definitely find out the truth and avenge the victims.

【I see. 】

Seeing that Liang He was determined to investigate thoroughly, Huo An knew that she was just informing him, and that even if he disagreed, Liang He would insist on doing it.

Since you're looking into this, I might as well tell you something else that might be helpful later.

Even after the video call ended, Liang He was still unable to recover from what Huo An had just said.

She always felt that her career had inexplicably taken an uncontrollable turn.

Fortunately, Liang He was never one to get caught up in internal conflicts, so she decided to deal with the immediate issues first.

"Alright, I have to go back to Mermaid City. You three stay home and behave yourselves. I'll come up and see you when I have time."

As an invited guest, Liang He certainly couldn't just leave and abandon her friends in Mermaid City, especially since there were mermaids waiting to guide her.

So after she and the fluffy creature spent some more time together, Liang He went back into the sea and swam towards the mermaid clan with the guiding mermaid.

"Sister! Sister's back!"

As soon as Beibei saw Liang He, she excitedly ran towards her as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time, hugging Liang He's waist tightly.

Seeing this, Evelyn, unusually a little jealous, teased the two of them.

"My daughter doesn't want her mother anymore now that she has an older sister."

Evelyn sighed, feigning sadness, while Bebe looked at her like a little adult, with a helpless yet doting expression.

"Mom, your acting is so exaggerated."

That's what she said, but Beibei still let go of her hand, turned around and hugged Evelyn, who was bending over, and patted her back comfortingly.

"Okay, okay, of course I love Mom the most."

The way she spoke, coaxing a child, was especially funny and amusing coming from Beibei, who is herself a child.

Evelyn, who was being watched by everyone vying for attention, became a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Xiao He, what did your friend want to see you about?" Because you are so toxic, you don't know President Lucas, so he just said that someone was looking for you, but no one knows who it was.

"It's Chairman Lucas."

Liang He thought about it for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with talking about it, so she simply stated it again.

"This is outrageous! How could this happen?!"

Upon hearing that animals had been brutally murdered, Göring was the first to react.

He genuinely loves the animals in nature, which is why he chose this profession.

Even when competing for the position of district chief, he only hoped to have more and greater power to protect them.

"This method sounds like..."

Evelyn suddenly hesitated, as if she had thought of something.

After noticing Liang He's sharp gaze, Evelyn subconsciously bit her lip, looked around, and finally spoke.

"I've heard that some people, in pursuit of thrills and to satisfy their desire for bloodshed and violence, will choose to kill animals."

Evelyn carefully chose her words, not fully revealing her inner thoughts.

Animal cruelty is actually quite common, but most cases involve stray animals like cats and dogs, which doesn't easily attract attention.

"But if someone abuses and kills protected animals just to seek thrills, it means that the person behind it must be someone of high status and power."

If it is the work of poachers, in order not to attract attention, they usually leave quickly after succeeding and will not use killing to leave more traces.

Moreover, the fur of protected animals is also very valuable to poachers.

"That's what Princess Evelyn was trying to say, wasn't it?"

Elius suddenly steered the conversation back to Evelyn.

It was clear that she had held back when she spoke just now.

"……Yes."

Evelyn hadn't expected Elius to expose her concerns, and for a moment, her face turned somewhat embarrassed and ashamed.

"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just..."

“Evelyn, I understand, it’s okay.”

When Evelyn tried to apologize, Liang He gently interrupted her and responded with a smile.

"I understand your difficulties."

In Liang He's view, Evelyn, as a princess, may not care about her status in ordinary times, but that is an objective fact.

Therefore, Evelyn had to stand in her shoes and consider her family's perspective.

"Thank you, Xiao He."

Evelyn, who understood Liang He's subtext, instantly teared up.

Frankly, Evelyn was prepared to be criticized, because in her view, her hesitation and concealment were signs of disloyalty to the friendship.

But Liang He just showed her through her actions that mutual understanding is the cornerstone of lasting friendship.

"Let me tell you."

Now that everything has been said, Evelyn has nothing left to worry about.

She took a deep breath and then shared what she had heard with everyone.

"Actually, I didn't know about the killing of animals, but nobles always have some shady games going around in secret."

Upon hearing this, Evelyn immediately thought that this might be the latest 'developed' game by the nobles.

She and the third prince both loathed and rejected this, and never participated in such so-called games.

"So, you suspect that the killing of animals is merely a pastime for the nobles?"
