“Yes, I'm well aware of that, and I know that it's a line nobody can cross without getting punished by the law!” Reina replied.
The reporter nodded. “There's been an uproar about the scarlet swan incident in the past few days. We have invited some relevant supervisors here today. If Scarlet Swan Villa is indeed illegal, you'll be handed over to the judicial authorities. We'll be going on live stream during the whole process to make sure that everything is fair and just.”
Reina took in a deep breath. “Okay.”
Then, a man stepped forward and started to introduce himself, “Hello, Ms. Wilson. My name is Anthony Sullivan. I'm from the Pollerton Supervision Bureau. According to the law of our country, it is illegal to consume wild scarlet swans. From now on, I'm officially in charge of investigating Scarlet Swan Villa, and I hope you can cooperate.” “Hello, Chief Sullivan. As you have just mentioned, it's illegal to consume wild scarlet swans, but all the scarlet swans in Scarlet Swan Villa are bred. According to national law, it's not illegal to breed scarlet swans.” This was the first round of Reina's counter-attack.
The netizens were puzzled.
Since when can we breed protected animals? Why didn't I know about this?
Even the reporter was confused. Really?
“Chief Sullivan, is that true?” asked the reporter.
“Yes, that's true. There's a law stating that you can breed scarlet swans only if you have the breeding qualification, sales qualification, and also consumption qualification,” Anthony answered.
“Please come with me,” said Reina.
The camera began to shift, and people could now see the inside of Scarlet Swan Villa. There were mountains and rivers, and the scenery was beautiful. It was like a small wetland park. There were even quite a few lakes, forming an ecological cycle system. Inside the villa, there was a scarlet swan whose wings were tied up, and it was leisurely searching for food. It would go into the lake and hunt for some small fish and shrimp once in a while.
Reina then handed them a stack of documents. “Here you go. This is the breeding license approved by the Provincial Center.”
The reporter took them from her, and the camera zoomed in for a closer shot.
There were several red stamps on the documents alongside the signature of the head of the Provincial Center.
“The documents are indeed valid. I can now conclude that Ms. Wilson's Scarlet Swan Villa is legal and compliant!” Anthony said.
The netizens went crazy.
Wow! She's good. She can even get a breeding license!Does this mean we that we have wrongly accused her?Now, where are all the “professionals"on Twitter?
The comments on the internet started to have a one-sided trend. All the netizens that criticized Reina started to show support. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Reina then handed them another set of documents. “Here are the sales license and the consumption license.”
Anthony was very serious about his job. He carefully looked at the documents one by one and nodded right after he finished checking them. “All these documents are indeed valid, which means Ms. Wilson's Scarlet Swan Villa has a series of strict procedures in place. It's completely legal for
Scarlet Swan Villa to breed or sell the scarlet swans as edible food. I will take full responsibility for everything I have just said.”
“Congratulations, Ms. Wilson. Is there anything you want to say to the public?” asked the reporter.
Reina smiled and took over the microphone. “I'm very grateful for everyone's concern for me and Scarlet Swan Villa. I believe everyone has managed to see that Scarlet Swan Villa covers an area of more than 4 square kilometers, and over the years, I have made Scarlet Swan Villa into a small wetland park. Everyone is welcome to come over and pay a visit. The tickets are fairly cheap. It costs only thirty for one ticket.”
She had started to advertise about Scarlet Swan Villa.
It was too late for the reporter to stop Reina when he finally realized what she was doing.
“As for the scarlet swans, I have to thank Chief Sullivan for his investigation. Even though our scarlet swans are bred, their ecosystem is completely independent and basically the same as the wild ones.” Reina then grabbed one of the scarlet swans and flipped its wing open in front of the camera as she continued, “Look, everyone. We have numbered every one of our swans. There's even a QR code on each of them. You can check for each swan's information by scanning the QR code. We do this to prevent anyone from hunting wild scarlet swans and blaming it on Scarlet Swan Villa!”
