Animal Whisperer: Take Back My Life and Love Chapter 402: The Savior of Raventown

Just then, the lead actress, who had been hiding in the van, suddenly jumped out with her phone held high.

Her screen was clearly displaying Nancy’s profile page. As if she had uncovered some shocking piece of evidence, she pointed a sharp finger at Nancy and shrieked.

"I recognize her! She is Nancy Summers, that famous animal communicator from the internet!"

Her words set the Dessert Route crew off like a powder keg.

The bodyguards and staff who had been cowed by the flock of birds began to close in again. Their eyes were predatory, looking as if they wanted to tear Nancy limb from limb.

The tension, which had only just begun to ease, snapped back to a breaking point!

In that frozen moment where the air felt thick enough to solidify, several official vehicles accompanied by the wail of sirens raced onto the scene. They kicked up a massive cloud of sand before coming to a firm halt right in the middle of the conflict.

Several officers jumped out. The captain in the lead frowned as he surveyed the chaos, the birds circling overhead and the two groups facing off. He asked in a stern voice, "What is going on here?"

The director and the lead actors of Dessert Route acted as if they had found their saviors. They rushed forward, talking over one another as they pointed at Nancy to lodge their complaints.

"Officer! It is her! This woman intentionally commanded these animals to swarm us! She is a serious threat to our safety!"

The director’s eyes sharpened when he saw a man stepping out from a black sedan in the rear. His heart leaped with joy. It was the Mayor of Raventown! He had met the Mayor once before during a discussion regarding filming locations.

He pushed past the police and lunged toward the Mayor. In an instant, his face transformed into a mask of deep grievance and heartbreak. His voice even took on a slight sob.

"Sir, you have to do something for us!"

He pointed at his expensive equipment, which had been baptized by bird droppings, and at his trembling actors. He began to wail, exaggerating every detail.

"Our Dessert Route is the flagship project of the summer for Neo Summers Corp. We have invested hundreds of millions! This is an annual masterpiece meant to promote the scenery of our Northwest and boost the local tourism economy! But now, we are being bullied like this by some small, no-name crew using such underhanded tactics!"

He grew more agitated as he spoke, painting himself as the ultimate victim. "They allowed these animals to commit violence and sabotage our shoot! This is a total disregard for the law! Mr. Mayor, if this is the business environment we have to deal with, who would ever dare to come here to film or invest? You must punish these criminals and give us justice!"

His dramatic performance successfully cast his side as the victims and champions of the local economy, while dumping all the filth onto Nancy and Sicily’s crew.

As the Dessert Route director wailed his complaints, the two top-tier stars crowded around as well, adding their own fuel to the fire.

"Mr. Mayor, look at the state of us!" the lead actor said, pointing to his pale, shaken face. "We were almost attacked by those beasts! This has caused us permanent psychological trauma!"

The lead actress even squeezed out two tears as she pointed at Nancy. "That woman ordered it! She is a monster!"

All the pressure and all the accusations in the desert were focused entirely on Nancy.

However, in the face of these fierce allegations, the Mayor of Raventown completely ignored the group of glamorous celebrities.

His gaze swept past them and landed precisely on Nancy, who had remained silent the entire time. A warm, enthusiastic smile instantly broke across his face as he strode toward her.

Under the incredulous gazes of the entire Dessert Route crew, the Mayor grabbed Nancy’s hand and shook it vigorously. His voice was loud enough for the entire desert to hear.

"Miss Nancy! I finally get to meet you! You and that gerbil are the ones who put Raventown back on the map! Finding that gold mine has changed everything for this town!"

The expressions of the director and the superstar actors froze instantly.

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck them directly through the skull. The entire group stood paralyzed.

The lead actor, who had been so arrogant moments ago, now stood there with his jaw dropped in sheer shock.

Found a gold mine?

His mind went blank, leaving only that thought echoing through his brain.

He quickly calculated his own astronomical salary in his head, only to realize that even if he added up every cent he would earn in his entire career, it was a drop in the bucket compared to the value of a gold mine. It was laughably insignificant!

The director turned deathly pale, his lips trembling as he whispered to himself in disbelief, "No... that is impossible..."

Just minutes ago, he had been smugly thinking that his high-level connections in the city had worked wonders.

I thought my one phone call had brought the Mayor out to back me up.
