Therefore, Alex gave an order to bring back any stray animals that needed help while on a mission outside. During this period of time, the killers of the Burton family’s villa were almost used to going out and bringing back a cat or a dog. The opponents were stunned. Can you imagine? One moment, a certain killer was raising a gun at them, and the next moment, he stuffed a puppy into his pocket?

Amelia exclaimed in surprise, “Daddy is so awesome!”

Seeing that Alex had arrived, more than a dozen dogs barked and rushed over. However, they stopped when they reached the front. In the end, they were still in awe of Alex’s murderous aura. They did not dare to approach and could only wag their tails.

Amelia laughed. “They’re wagging their tails so hard that their butts are wagging.”

These stray cats and dogs were not taken care of by professionals. It was just the hall masters and subordinates of the Burton family’s villa taking care of them. When they were free after returning from missions, they would come to see the dogs and cats. Miraculously, those who had killed too many people on missions and had some psychological barriers were cured when they took care of these stray animals.

Amelia looked at the fluffy dogs, which had been washed clean, and couldn’t help but pet them. The dogs tentatively touched Amelia’s hand and glanced at Alex. Seeing that the man was smiling, they boldly played with Amelia.

Amelia spent the entire afternoon playing here. As soon as she came out, she was immediately followed by a group of dogs. Amelia picked flowers on the grass, and the dogs ran crazily at the side. Some went to pick a leaf, and some went to pick a branch for her. There was also a tugou who picked up a rock for her.

Amelia saw the rock and shook her head. “I don’t want rocks,” she said, and threw it.

The tugou went out with a swoosh and brought the rock back with its mouth. The rock that was stained with saliva was thrown in front of Amelia.

Amelia was stunned. The tugou looked at the rock and then at Amelia, signaling her to continue throwing. Amelia picked up the rock and threw it again. The tugou ran very fast and picked up the rock in an instant. It then placed it by her feet. This time, the rock was even wetter and full of saliva.

Amelia was disgusted. “Ew, I don’t want to play with rocks anymore.”

The tugou turned on the spot and looked at Amelia, then at the rock, as if to say, no, you want to play.

Amelia said, “All right. I’ll throw it again, then.” She threw the rock again.

The tugou picked it up again and threw it at Amelia’s feet. Seeing that Amelia really did not want to play with it anymore, it picked up the rock anxiously and threw it out with its tongue. It hit Amelia’s forehead with a bang.

The tugou did not do it on purpose, but Amelia’s forehead turned red. She let out a cry.

Alex was talking to one of his subordinates. When he heard the voice, he immediately came over. “What’s wrong?”

Amelia covered her forehead and pointed at the tugou. “It hit me with a rock!”

The tugou: “!!!” No, it didn’t!

In Alex’s opinion, the tugou had done something bad and ran away!

Alex was amused. He picked Amelia up and looked at her. Fortunately, the rock was small. It was a little bruised. It should be fine, right?

“Let’s go. Daddy will take you to take a shower and then pick up that wolfdog from the hospital. Do you remember that wolfdog?” Alex asked.

Amelia nodded. “Yes, yes, I remember!” It was the poor wolfdog that Qurry had drugged with rat poison to make a video.

After Amelia washed her face, Alex took her out.

Some time ago, after the incident where Tani’s Studio pretended to save stray animals but was actually buying and selling cat blood, the short video platform conducted a purge activity to strictly investigate the relevant videos. Moreover, netizens spontaneously organized a picket. Once they discovered that there were rescued stray animals but no traces of them afterwards, or that the rescued cats and dogs did not match the list from the shelters, they would immediately forward it to each other to verify and report. Such evil transactions were indeed rare, but a group of bloggers in the name of real rescue emerged. Then, this incident took a wave of popularity. Sometimes, they could not help but admire the talent of these people. Fortunately, although this group of people had a profitable goal, they were more or less useful in rescuing stray animals. At least, they were not harming stray animals.

“Does that count as helping the cats and dogs?” Amelia asked.

Alex nodded. “Yes.” In the past, he was also a cold person. To him, this world only had the shackles of protecting mountains and rivers. There was no kinship or love. But now, the gentleness of this world, he was willing to protect it for his daughter.
