Just as he was about to board the bus, strutted through the queue like a general, a huge explosion frightened everyone, including Mitch Schulhof, and a pile of broken glass fell from the sky, injuring many people.

Before the shock had subsided, another huge object smashed directly onto the roof of the Lexus LS!

Mickey Schulhof, who was about to get into his car to avoid the disaster under the protection of his bodyguards, came face to face with the person who had crashed into the car roof. The horrific death and the burning robes caused the usually calm Sony America president to scream hysterically.

There were more and more loud bangs nearby, some of which hit the ground, some of which hit other people. The scene was horrific.

Henry, sitting in the barrister's car, certainly heard the explosion several kilometers away with his hearing. Even the barrister driving the car actually noticed it, but the sound was very quiet.

He asked, "Where does this sound come from?"

"I don't know either." Henry made an excuse.

In fact, he was thinking that although he did not design a deadly trap for enemies who invaded the house, he never said that he did not make a device to destroy evidence.

But the noise was so loud, did I use too much explosives?

It seems that they had previously considered that there was only one shot, and the person who stole their things might not put everything together, so they deliberately made the power stronger so that the range of destruction could be larger, ensuring that the lost items could be completely destroyed.

Now it seems that this idea was ill-considered. Henry is seriously reviewing it. Anything that should be self-destructing should be equipped with similar devices, so that the amount of explosives can be reduced.

Well, I'll improve it next time.

As for the human issue… Henry consciously ignored it. He had never been kind, he just didn't like trouble. They had already prepared a way out and cleaned their necks, so he would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't strike them.

Besides, isn't it basic to build a self-destruct device? Don't underestimate the otakus who experienced the Gundam W generation!

The function isn't complete yet, and the self-destruct mechanism is already built. It's a quirk that can't be fixed. All that's missing is a red skull button to indicate it.

But Henry, in a complete act, certainly couldn't reveal any clues in front of outsiders. He continued to chat with the barrister beside him, all of which were meaningless, just to make the atmosphere in the car less awkward.

With the help of a barrister, retrieving your Cadillac from the vehicle storage lot wasn't too much trouble.

Since it wasn't a tow violation, I only had to pay the storage fee... Anyway, once it was in the storage yard, I had to pay the fee. It didn't matter if the car had any scratches on the paint, as long as the four wheels were still there.

It's easy to get the car, but it's not so easy to get your pet.

Henry went to the animal shelter alone and found out that Katie was not there. This is because most animal shelters only take in small animals, mainly cats and dogs.

Smaller creatures like snakes, turtles, and lizards are easier to handle, but Katie is the size of a full-grown tiger, weighing over 500 pounds. She would have trouble even turning around in the shelter's largest cage.

If it were just to inflict some pain on the tiger, they would probably just lock it up. But the biggest reason animal shelters don't take them in is that the cage bars aren't thick enough to withstand the bite of a full-grown tiger.

There aren't top predators like tigers wandering around the streets of Los Angeles every day, and they need to be captured and temporarily taken in by animal shelter staff.

So Katie was transferred to the Los Angeles Zoo and temporarily taken in by a local wild animal breeding center.

Henry, tired of his life, had no choice but to drive to the zoo again. Fortunately, the zoo was not like a car park. He had to buy a ticket before entering to talk. He told the person at the ticket booth, and someone came out and led Henry inside.

The person leading the way was a young female keeper in charge of the wild animal area, the most difficult type of person to deal with.

Those who choose this path are more or less drawn to it because they love animals. Young people, on the other hand, have not yet extinguished their passion, so naturally they may have some overly idealistic statements and ideas.

As expected, Henry was immediately confronted when he was brought into the zoo. He was questioned, "Mr. Brown, we've verified that the tigers you raise haven't undergone proper quarantine or customs clearance. How do you explain this?"

The female breeder who questioned Henry was, to be honest, quite pretty. Judging by her attire outside of her uniform, she was quite wealthy.

But she wasn't the type to wear too many unprofessional jewelry, or to wear something that looked professional but wasn't practical at all. But the things she did have were either branded or looked expensive.

Perhaps she was pampered at home, and at school, she competed like a cheerleader, with no shortage of suitors. These factors combined to make her quite proud and self-righteous.

Simply put, from Henry's observation, she is most likely one of those extreme animal protectionists with a hole in her brain.

Although stereotypes and preconceived notions are bad, Henry felt that the person in front of him had such a personality when he looked at him.

Even though the barrister wasn't present, Henry's legal reading wasn't in vain. Especially for the purpose of raising this tiger, he had a good understanding of the relevant regulations.

"Excuse me, Madam...how did you learn through what legal channels that I didn't go through the legal quarantine and customs procedures? Shouldn't I be the one to provide these documents? Or, if you can't find them, just assume they don't exist?"

Chapter 387 Missing Katie

The female breeder was stunned by these words and was speechless for a long time.

Just as she was about to continue speaking, a balding, middle-aged, white, fat man wearing the same uniform came out. "Kelly, don't bother Mr. Brown with your tricks."

Compared to the overly idealistic young people, the middle-aged white men in charge of administrative affairs are much more tactful.

He stepped forward and shook hands, then said, "Mr. Brown, I'm Andy Thomson, the zoo's executive director. The FBI has contacted us and explained the situation.

"Just sign a few documents, pay the temporary custody fee, and you can take your pet away. But..." Old White took a look, "How do you plan to take the tiger away?"

"Oh, I drove here, just let him sit in the back seat."

Andy Johnson said awkwardly, "Well, that's not what I meant."

"Look, Andy. This guy isn't prepared for anything. Why would we give a tiger back to a criminal? If he goes to jail, who's going to take care of the tiger?"

The girl screamed excitedly, making the bald old white man look embarrassed. He said, "The FBI just came to inform us that Mr. Brown being mistaken for a suspect was a misunderstanding.

"That's why they want us to let Mr. Brown get his pet back. You know that, too, so why are you saying such rude things?"

Pulling the emotional girl behind him, Old White protected her and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Brown. Kelly has only been here for a short time and is not familiar with some things."

Walter White's defense was obvious, and Henry didn't want to talk to such a shrewd woman. "Forget it, what documents do I need to sign, how much do I need to pay? Hurry and get them to me. I need to get home early, and the house is a mess to clean up."

"Mr. Brown, the documents are here." Old White hurriedly handed over the documents on the folder and attached a pen.

Henry signed his name without even reading it. Actually, he had already read the entire document, which consisted of nothing more than some nonsense about disclaimers and the cost of support personnel and containment time.

After returning the folder, Henry asked, "Do you accept cash? Check? Credit card?"

"It's all right." Lao Bai said with a flattering smile.

Because the zoo had deployed personnel and specialized vehicles to assist with the tiger's containment, the costs of their labor were also charged to Henry. The main expense for the duration of the containment period was the cost of several meals and the cost of the manpower allocated to care for the tiger.

In a case like this, where the FBI made a mistake, Henry shouldn't have to foot the bill for all the expenses. But considering that the blame was being passed to the other party, it was best to resolve this financial issue quickly.

Isn't that what the saying goes? Any problem that can be solved with money isn't a problem. A little money in exchange for a big pot to smash on someone else's head, how refreshing!

Henry was too lazy to bargain. Even though it was a considerable amount for an ordinary person, he still took out his checkbook and signed a check for the full amount to the other party.

Henry had enough money on him to pay in cash, but in a situation like this, a check could serve as a payment receipt, eliminating the risk of future disputes.

After accepting the check and signing a receipt, he handed it back. The balding old man put on a businesslike smile and said, "Kelly, take Mr. Brown to get his pet back."

"I refused. He doesn't look like someone who can take good care of a wild beast. I can tell just by looking at him coming here empty-handed." The female breeder turned her head away in dissatisfaction, not looking at anyone.

"You..." Andy Thomson gave up on giving instructions to the stubborn girl and simply led the way himself. "Mr. Brown, please follow me. The temporary shelter for the wild animals is in this direction."

Henry followed without saying anything. Even when he passed by the girl, he controlled the direction of his head and didn't even look at her.

This kind of person is just like a keyboard warrior on the internet. The more you argue with them, the more excited they become, like a shot of adrenaline. Just ignore them. Don't even waste your breath on them.

It was just that Henry ignored her intentionally. But the girl seemed unwilling to give up and followed him anyway.

No one stopped her, no one cared about her. After all, her feet were her own, so it was her freedom to walk wherever she wanted.

Entering the wild animal area, most of the exhibits are open-air, deep well-style, with the animals kept within arm's reach, rather than just separated by glass.

The only large house is a multi-purpose center used by the zoo's staff. All work, including cub care, medical care, and regular checkups, is carried out in this large house.

The foreign tiger Katie should also be temporarily placed in a single room for large beasts.

However, when Andy Thompson took Henry to the temporary care room where the tiger Katie was supposed to be housed according to the information at hand, everyone saw only an empty concrete room.

There was no shelter inside, so it was impossible to hide a beast the size of a motorcycle. Furthermore, the walls of the room were painted white, which was not a protective color for an animal with a yellow background and black stripes.

Andy, the bald old man, looked at the empty room in disbelief. He didn't even think that the tiger had the ability to be invisible. He opened the iron gate himself and went in to take a look around.

"Kelly, what's going on? Where's Tiger?"

The rooms that could be used to house large beasts were all in this area, connected together and visible at a glance. However, all four rooms were just like the one before me: empty.

The female keeper said proudly, "I put him in the tiger enclosure with the other tigers."

"You...what are you doing! You think this is smart?" Andy Thomson was furious. "Tigers are very territorial animals.

"The tigers in the zoo have lived together for a long time, so they can coexist peacefully. If you let a foreign tiger come into contact with them without any protection, what do you think will happen?"

After scolding the other party, Lao Bai immediately ran out, ready to go to the tiger area to check the situation. If a tragedy occurred, they would immediately seal off the scene.

Zoos are family-friendly places, with lots of children there. If they were to see too many gory images, I wonder how they'd be criticized in tomorrow's news.

As he passed a zoo employee, the balding old man shouted, "Tell Raven to bring a tranquilizer gun. It might come in handy."

The female breeder also noticed that she seemed to have messed up, and hurriedly followed him out.

Henry was wondering what would happen if Katie, who had never seen her own kind since being captured and brought to the United States, encountered another tiger? He wondered if she wouldn't even be able to communicate with tigers, and would be overwhelmed by the zoo's tigers...

Chapter 388 The Tiger Out of the Cage

The tiger area in the zoo was peaceful, with no bloody scenes or tiger-on-tiger attacks.

The well-fed beasts each took their own area, lazily basking in the sun. Even when visitors to the zoo started to shout and clamor, they simply asked the tigers to take turns getting up and stretching their muscles.

Of course, a few young and strong guys were not satisfied with the tigers' business attitude, and they started to cheer and asked the tigers to have a bloody battle.

There was also a black man who boasted to his girl that if he were allowed into a tiger cage, she would see how he would fight and kill the tigers. He made it sound like he was possessed by his African ancestors, a god of war descended to earth, and was unmatched in bravery.

The zoo staff were used to the tourists' attitude. Andy Thomson hurriedly counted the tigers and found that there was indeed one more!

But in his eyes, all tigers looked the same. The fact that he could remember the number of tigers in the cage was a sign of his diligence as an administrative director; how could he recognize who was who?

"Kelly, hurry up and call for help to bring Mr. Brown's pet out."

Of course, the bald old man's order didn't get a positive response from the female breeder. The pretty girl turned her head away, as if to give in to everyone.

"I told you, this person can't take care of a tiger. I don't want to do that. Now it looks like they can coexist peacefully, so the best thing to do is to keep the tiger in the zoo."

"You...!" Andy wanted to curse, but couldn't say it.

Maybe there is someone behind this pretty girl, which is why an administrative director can't do anything to her.

However, Henry had no time to appreciate this real-life workplace ethics drama. He walked to the edge of the fence in the tiger area and looked at the group of tigers below.

He'd spotted his own Katie right away, but she seemed too lazy to move, like the tigers at the zoo. Was this just doing as the Romans do?

"Roar!" Henry roared, and all the tigers stopped what they were doing and looked up in Henry's direction.

"Katie, go home." Henry said loudly using normal language.

At this moment, Katie, who had been lying on the highest rock, acting like a king of the mountain, slowly stood up and roared to both sides. The tigers responded, like little brothers being told by their boss.

Henry was amazed at the sight. How long had it taken to tame all these tigers in the zoo?

But he didn't consider the amount of meat he fed Katie, and the amount of activity she could get chasing after the baby, compared to the tigers raised in the zoo. They were just a size difference, and the moment they met, the tigers would submit. There was no fighting involved.

At this time, a tiger walked to the edge of the deep well and leaned against the wall. Katie immediately rushed towards the tiger with the power of a tiger descending the mountain.

The onlookers all exclaimed in amazement. Even the group of young people excitedly cheered, hoping to see a tiger-eat-tiger spectacle.

Unexpectedly, Katie did not bite any tiger. Instead, just before she approached the wall, the tiger leaning against the wall jumped up on the spot.

Katie used the high jumping tiger as a stepping stone and gave a strong push! Using this momentum, she pushed herself to a higher place.

There was a protrusion in the tiger area landscaping, which Katie used to gain leverage and then kicked hard in the opposite direction.

The tiger performed an unimaginable front flip and jumped out of the zoo's deep-well-designed tiger area beautifully.

Katie landed right where the group of excited young men were gathered. The black man who'd initially claimed he could fight a tiger was completely terrified by Katie's presence. He collapsed to the ground, unable to even run.

If this were in the wild and Katie were a wild tiger, she would have a snack by now.

However, Katie had no habit of hunting living things. Before she could think of "playing" with the two-legged beast in front of her, Henry whistled and called her over.

Ignoring the zoogoers who were already in chaos after a tiger jumped out of the tiger enclosure, Henry stroked the tiger's head. "Where did you learn that move, you showboat?"

Katie, now without her assistive device, may not understand human language, but she can sense emotions. She was quite pleased with Henry's disapproval and contempt.

Just because Henry and Katie were happy meant someone else was unhappy. The female keeper ran over like crazy, completely ignoring the tiger right in front of her, and grabbed Henry's sleeve.

"How could you let it escape?"

Henry was stunned by the question. He replied blankly, "I don't have telekinesis. They jumped out of the relay on their own, not me."

"I don't care. I'm going to take this tiger back to the cage." The female keeper didn't care and started to meddle.

But the chaotic situation did not end there. The support personnel who were called in earlier and were carrying tranquilizer guns saw that there was still a tiger running out of the cage, so they immediately raised their guns and aimed at it.

Stop the man with the gun?

The distance between the two sides was too great, and if Henry wanted to stop him, he would only expose his ability. But his position was too good, so Henry was reluctant to stop him.

Henry, who was in the spirit of acting, was pulling and tugging with the girl, while Katie beside him followed closely, sticking close to the Kryptonian two-legged beast.
